Lack of roku-tech archives bad sign for Roku?

When thinking about buying a Roku I spent some time digging through the roku-tech archives, which were extremely helpful in evaluating it's current working state and future potential. However, now that I've actually received my Roku, I find that the archives are offline. Two days ago I sent email to Roku's support without an answer. The archive list of the main Roku site has been broken for several days: http://lists.rokulabs.com/pipermail/roku-tech/ Likewise the external web-based forum for previous posts is also broken: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.roku.technical I can understand that the Roku is more for the hacker/hobbyist than a polished appliance, and this is exactly why well supported mailing lists, forums and archives are so important. While I'm willing to patient for software to mature and having to do some extra work to get things working, I'm beginning to be a little concerned about Roku's inability to restore these archives or/and fix blatantly broken links on their site. I've only recently subscribed to this mailing list, so perhaps I've missed an announcement/previous post. Are these archives available somewhere else? This seems like a bad sign, should I return my Roku before its too late? -Taylor
