Why do you have to take it personal?
You and I both know that the archive had nothing in it but a few very old vB 1 hacks and threads from back when everything was imported from the forums at vB.com. Obviously that wasn't much of a problem has the user base for vB 1.x was very small and again there were only a handful of modifications in there.
The vB 2.x hacking forums were the "glue" that held this community together for the longest time. Removing the the ability to download is basically the same as going through the history books and removing text from them.
Of course I wouldn't be ranting about this at all if you'd warned up a few days in advance first. At least then I would've had time to back up the files I wanted.
