Missing Links

[Psychee]

I don't know how I found them yesterday -- but somehow I navigated to some boards that have no direct links -- one was "Self Help" and another was "Science".  These boards haven't been active since the links were removed.  Can we get them back under "genres"?  And while waiting for that to happen...  can you help me figure out how to get back to them?  I thought there was a page called "recent discussions" that led me to them, but now I can't find that page, either.

Thanks!

In the Announcements board there was a floated thread called "Recent Discussions" (made by Jessica) that contained the link to the archived boards.  It should still be there.

Here is a link to all the archived boards - there are quite a lot of them.  168 to be precise!

Usually when a board is archived it's either because it was a special event based board and the event is now long since over, or because of lack of interest.  The two boards you are referring to were archived before I started working here so I don't know their specific story - I suspect it was the latter case (i.e. that they fell into inactivity before the link was removed, hence it's removal) but I'll have to check with others on the team who were here at the time.

Thank you!
