Is there any official statement you can cite? Generally TIA does not mince words and is honest. If they say "removed" then I would assume they are not doing Facebook-style "deletion" shenanigans.
- gojomo 12y agoI don't know of a linkable official statement to that effect. Unfortunately much of the information available (for example in the official onsite FAQ) is incomplete or outdated. The Wayback Machine gets only a tiny fraction of the product-management, public communication, documentation, end-user support, and fundraising that it should.
