Community posts getting archived?

[mlopezrivera]

Have other been encountering this archive notice when trying to search Community? Google is still indexing these links, so it's incredibly frustrating to think you're clicking into something helpful only to be hit with this banner.

Anyone know if this is a migration of some sort, or are massive swaths of community articles getting archived indefinitely?  In ServiceNow Uni courses, they recommend over and over that you search Community when you have questions - but how are we supposed to do that when you make the articles unavailable?

Seems like a Community responded here, but locked the post so you can't reply:

"Hi all, thanks for flagging this. We recently undertook a content cleanup effort on the Community forums, archiving content that met a low view threshold and was several years old. This is done quarterly, and Google search indexes are still being updated. " link

It often feels like the lunatics are running this particular asylum.
