Better not tell the N*zis who made it that way, lest they try to shut you down. I would quote the last discussion thread about that, but of course, I can't find it, just like they intended. They can save the URLs for discussions favorable to their position, but nobody can search for opposing articles. Or maybe they have softened their views now. Or maybe they have moved to Egypt or North Korea.

Oh no, that will just add one more nail in the coffin of thinking there are no other sites which already archive and index wikimedia groups. (And don't tell me to do my aforementioned search there, as they don't exist, right?)
