1. It is still available by search - though that gets a specific thread

Now, at the top right hand corner, they have a button for search. It currently goes back to old DU. I wonder if when they create a new search if they will have the ability to search the old DU threads. It sounds from comments here that you will not be able to, but under the old search, you could find things going back to at least 2003. It might be that they will have a menu that allows getting the old posts - especially as simply retaining the current search logic does that. It would seem the question is whether they want to keep everything archived.

You could argue that it is an incredible resource for the election. I know of no other place where I can as easily access real time articles on various things that happened in the last several years. Though I am usually looking for Kerry stuff, the same goes for Obama and other Democrats.
