make "idea exchange" read-only til 2015!!!

[_dot]

why would you just make 'All of the hard work and deep thought that went into most of those ideas, as well as some very  well-thought-out replies', just vanish!!????? now there's no way to crosscheck if an idea has been sent in b4....please put it back up in forum, even if you have to make it read only......please tell me you are going to migrate the old idea exchange and all of its content  into the new 2015 version of idea exchange...please ? it shows such disregard for us if you don't

hello? any thoughts on subject  appreciated
