I didn't read all the archives before my first chat visit. I had read some of the best ones, though. And I eventually caught up. It was easier for me, since there were only two months' worth of archives accumulated when I first started Rinkchatting. Once I had them all read, it was all read-as-you-go.

At my last job, I had downloaded all the archive pages onto my computer, for quick reference and to re-read them in anticipation of the Rink Awards. Then I got laid off.

Months of downloads, gone! Just like that! Gah.
