I recently came across your post and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that it caught my interest and you've provided informative points. I will visit this blog often.

Thank you,

Unless their intention was to destroy all that IHT had ever built, a major company making a mistake of this magnitude is unbelievable. I am appalled every time I see a small business let someone who doesn't know what they're doing "upgrade" their site and just reading your article was painful. It is just so unnecessary to lose all the incoming links you've ever built.

I hope you don't mind my sharing a post I wrote that was inspired the last time I saw someone make this serious mistake: What NOT to Do With Your Existing Site When You Redesign or Upgrade.

Even if they eventually restore the information and even if they used the original URLs (which it doesn't sound like they're doing) unless you redirect properly BEFORE you move pages, much of the damage can be permanent.

Natural aging. Even if you put Laptop Battery away and never use it, Dell xps m1530 battery will die one day. Let me explain things a little bit more. You have to understand that, it doesn’t matter how good you care about your , it will lose performance and one day it will die. Of course, your computer battery exploits will slow the process of aging of your replacement laptop battery. In warmer environments, while the laptop is used and your battery gets warm, your battery will drain energy quicker. For this reason, the number one rule is: Keep your notebook batteries cool.

Thomas, what an amazing story, and it's still got legs. What the Times did was plain unbelievable, but they did it. Ouch. One thing that you and others might want to think about this, and I know it might sound crazy, but: if in some future time, when climate chaos forces millions to migrate north and south as climate refugees (ask Andy Revkin at the Times about this, he knows, if anyone does, and James Lovelock, too) and if climate chaos and global warming, say year 2323 or so, completely stops the electrical grid worldwide, and all electric power goes OUT, and thus all computers go KAPUT, what will happen to the archives of human civilization that were so carelessly stored on computer files for the last 300 years or so, from 1995 to year 2323? Ever think about that? We think that computers are forever, we want to think so, but we are entering uncharted territory in terms of climate change and global warming and climate chaos and klimatkatrostrof as the Germans say, and what will happen then? Just a thought…

Ah, so the New York Times restored the stories. They migrated a bunch of text from one database to another. What they chose NOT to do was to migrate the LINKS, VIDEOS, PHOTOS, GRAPHICS, CHARTS, MAPS, ETC. that were part and parcel of the IHT.com package. That means many thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of iht.com staffers' work, going back more than 15 years is gone. Thomas, they fixed an embarrassing mistake (your blogging might have helped to speed it up) at the least possible cost, but threw away half of the value in the process. Once again, they've shown that they have no idea what is the point with this "series of tubes."

We got an internal company note that somehow tried to reassure us that the archives were coming back, while also taking a backhanded hit at Google, with the unstated message that it is somehow THEIR fault that we erased our own archives before making a new one.

Anyways, allegedly, "many thousands" of old IHT articles are now linked up to their new NYT URLs. I tried some of the old links on my personal blog, Joyceyland, and they seem to be working. So maybe we haven't lost quite as much "connectivity" as I had feared.

In a very quick and me-centered survey, I found that, of 11 IHT-only stories that had been lost before, 6 are now back online.

Hey! We're batting over 500!

Tom — 80% fixed, eh? That 20 percent must be geared at you and me. Because none of my IHT-only stories are on the NYT site. (Or, really, anywhere online anymore, unless they happened to have been reprinted elsewhere).
I was thinking of going into the IHT internal computer system and cutting and pasting them onto my blog, so at least SOME record exists online. xx, Joyce

I know exactly what you are saying. A couple of times, MSM has quoted Steve or me and then mentioned our blog without a link. I have then emailed the reporter asking them to get the link on the online version. At least twice, they have come back and said that goes against the “guidelines.” I ask, what guidelines are those, the ones that say you are supposed to make things difficult on YOUR OWN readers?
