Why an archive route exists
The original site was built on a taxonomy of categories, tags, authors, monthly archives and visit paths. Those routes accumulated links, search presence and reader habits over years. Deleting them would break the map and strand anyone following an old reference, so the structure is preserved while the content on it is rewritten.
What changed, and what did not
Unchanged: the URL structure, the topic of each route, and the overall navigation. Changed: the body content. Dated bonus figures, event previews and promotional certainty have been removed. In their place are explanations of how the topic works, what to verify and where the current version of that information lives.
How to use an archived route
Treat an archive route as a signpost rather than a source. It tells you the subject the site once covered and points you to the current desk — reviews, leagues, guides or news — where the same subject is handled properly. If a route depends on a price, a promotion or an event, assume it is historical unless you can verify otherwise.
