Archived Posts

ELNet is a teenager now, and in the spirit of growing up, we have archived posts dating from more than a decade ago. However, since some people may still find this information interesting or useful, we have created this page to allow access to this old content. Please be warned:

  • Some of the links and media in this part of the site may no longer work; while we have tried to keep things as consistent as possible, a decade is a long time to keep things active.
  • We are not currently monitoring posts in this area, so comments may not be replied to in a timely fashion.
  • We try not to correct or change these pages, as long as they remain accessible to users.

If you have any questions about archived posts or the archives, contact us.
