Search engines will just have to get better at scrubbing their databases. Most of this stuff is ephemeral so it’s usually a deep search that leads to these old threads…and future dead links. Distributed services isn’t bad, it’s just different. Pre-web it was archie, gopher, veronica, usenet, etc. Now all those things - or their equivalent data - run on top of the web. It’s just an evolution.
I say we all go back to browsing the web via Lynx and chatting it up on IRC. Who’s with me?
