Has anyone noticed anything funny about the D&D website besides the 4th Edition content? They've taken down great numbers of articles, product information, etc. Are they removing everything 3.5 or is this a technical screw-up? Some of the content is still there.

Check the "3.5 Archives (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archives)" section.

I'm looking at the archives. Most of the articles stored seem only to be from this month.:smallfrown:

Try Archives by Year on the side.

It seems that most of the articles from 2005-2007 have been removed.

Technical screw ups; all the 2004 Articles seem to be there. That said, I have seen content disappear over the years from 2000-2005 (there was a great article about D&D Weapons that is long since gone). You'll probably have to alert them to anything specific. It could just be that the links that have disappeared and that the content is still there.

[Edit]
Looks like the Articles are still there, they just aren't in the Archives anymore. Click on Stealthy Rascals Part 3 and you can get to the unlisted Stealthy Rascals Part 2.

Well, considering that they slash-dotted themselves, I am not surprised that they removed links to a few articles. If I had been the webmaster (I would never have allowed that stupid script that made all the people logged in refresh their browsers at once) then I would have temporarily removed anything 3.5 just until the traffic died off a little.

So, I was just reading the new Dungeon editorial when I discovered this: http://web.archive.org/web/20000815235700/www.wizards.com/dnd/Welcome.asp

I had no idea that they had Archived this Website. It's pretty cool to have access to this information.
