I tried to go to http://old.msghelp.net/ to look back at some information about the likes of the old colouring of text through Plus! 3.xx only to find that the subdomain doesn't seem to exist.  I thought the whole point of keeping it alive was for this reason of being able to look back and find information relating to what was previously there and for it's historic purposes.  Is there a reason why it has disappeared? Was I the only one ever using it anymore (like the once every 2 months I went to it)?  And where are we meant to look up what the old plug-ins did when someone comes asking about them?
