It seems that https://elmlang.slackarchive.io no longer works. Does anyone know what happened?
You may get a better answer to this question by asking in #admin-help on Slack as well. But I’m sure someone will update here too (probably me) when this gets resolved.
We noticed this a little while ago, and it seems that this is a universal problem. You’ll find that this twitter search is more or less a stream of questions about why archives aren’t updating, with no response from the operators. My assumption is that the service is simply offline.
I followed up in #admin-help this morning, apparently they have responded that they’re being rate-limited in some way by Slack. Even when the limit is lifted, they aren’t able to back-fill the gaps.
I’m sad about this, because it’s quite the valuable service. It sounds like it may be untenable to rely on it in the future, though. 
Indeed, it is a sad loss. In the meantime, til we find a solution, my advice is this:
- If you see a discussion worth keeping on the Slack, keep it! Turn it into a blog post. That way no knowledge is lost.
- Most code examples are easy to re-create. Don’t worry too much about losing them – especially if you can remember who authored it.
