How is this news? I bet a lot of pages were also added in the same time frame, very likely orders of magnitude more.
Because those pages had information that wasn't on the new pages?
Just from my own experience, WotC migrated the Magic the Gathering site to a new one, and while some articles were brought over there were a whole lot of stories, strategies and event coverage that were lost or are only available thanks to Archive.org
I ran across software once that wouldn't compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.
