This "archive" stuff is a disaster.

Right now, /manager has about 30 games looking for players. /manager archive has 3, and that's about the most I've ever seen there.

Right now, there are seven people located in the archive room, and over a hundred in the manager room. It has become almost impossible to get casual games going from the archive list, since most people can't even find their way to it. I've noticed a *huge* difference in the difficulty of finding opponents for, say, Attika. (Yes, you can still see gameyells on the game partner tool, but talking about that tool would get me started on a whole new rant).

I find it very bothersome that I can go /manager, get a list of "alle spiele", and only see half the games there. Any rational person would expect to see *all* the games there. There needs to be a simple and obvious way for clueless newbies to see (or at least get to) the archive games from the regular game manager. I didn't even learn that there was a "/manager archive" until yesterday, and I'm a very experienced player who plays on BSW almost every day.

Unless something changes, a lot of the archive games will die a slow death. Yes, fans of those games can still play them in tournaments, but when it's almost impossible to get a casual game started, there won't be any more new players learning those games - and without new players, it's just a matter of time before a lot of games start dying.

Presumably others have been saying all this in German, but I felt like I needed to add my two cents too.
