Quote:I don't know, personally. Do we consider a "statute of limitations," especially when the original author can't be found anymore?

Well, how about this: How many of the articles were forum posts? Pretty much all of them? If so, they were meant to be available publicly. We could assume, then, that the author wouldn't have too much objection to the preservation of the article so long as the author is credited and perhaps the source given: "Originally on Varaya's Strategy Archive" or "Originally posted on the DSF." Something like that. Of course, if the author magically shows up one day and wants their article removed, their wish is my command.

It doesn't get around the fact that they weren't asked, but it's as close as possible without letting the article vanish into the wind.

Quote:Also, hosting an old article is only useful if it is accurate for the latest version of Diablo 1. Otherwise, it's kind of a waste of time and can only confuse newcomers (of which there are STILL many).

Oh, I certainly wouldn't slap any old thing in HTML tags and put it up for all to see without error-checking it first. And some articles are hosted elsewhere, like Pete's Butcher Bashing at Freshman Diablo, or are available in a larger compilation (e.g. Jarulf's technical posts) so they don't need to be included.

In fact, it looks like I already started this process last... August. Should be easy to pick up where I left off.
