But just as libraries wouldn't think of dumping musty, out-of-print books, Web designers shouldn't rush to remove yesteryear's castoffs, said Steve Jones, a communications professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Very annoying! I did an ethnographic study with female fans of The X-Files. I went back to the official Fox site recently to check on an episode date and the entire site has been removed. Instead you are sent to a site to buy the DVDs of the series. Apparently fans were outraged by this decision but Fox doesn't seem to care. Rhiannon Bury, Ph.D.
