Concerns, other than an active thread disappearing with the Lightwave forum? :(

Its possible I'm just overlooking it., but can we at least have an archive function, a way to search the threads in these now deleted sections? There's a lot of knowledge and information that's now gone.

Edited to add -  A little heads up would have been nice to have. I knew there were discussions about the possibility of some forums being axed, but there probably should have been a post, in those forums, maybe a week or so before they actually got the axe?
