For certain types of creator, diving into old archives is just the perfect way to get some inspiration or source material. It's true, archiving transcripts of your family's dinner conversations for 10 years isn't really going to do any future movie-maker any good, but the SubGenius folks went far beyond the mundane.
Plus, even if it were purely mundane, it would still be of eventual interest to historians, who could data mine over it for cultural references and such.
I'm not entirely sure what the line is between keep or save, but it could almost assuredly be drawn way to the left of where it is now and save a lot more for future generations.
