Hey, zook, that's awesome!

Is WotC dumping all of this stuff?  Just wondering what prompted this huge data dump.

Im also curious.  Just noticed last week that none of my archive.wizards linked worked and my google fu hasn't turned up any discussion whatsoever of what happened, or even if it is temporary or not.

Also, for some weird reason the Vampire Lord template page is formatted as an ASP so its unreadable.

Yeah, no clue about why it was that way. All I did was compress the folders. I haven't looked in most them in several years.

I've noticed the same, it's been a couple weeks now. I tried to reach out to Wizards via their help account on twitter, and as a support ticket on help.wizards.com, but both of them just got back to me saying they didn't have knowledge of website issues and would pass along the information.  No other official word, but we should all find polite ways to contact them through official channels and ask what the story is, and encourage them to keep the archived content up

May we get a backup of this on Google Drive so this is preserved even longer?
