I was wanting to look some stories on Bonfire from the early 2000s but it appears that The Batt website no longer has archives listed. Any idea where they can be found, other than on microfilm in Cushing?

http://web.archive.org/ should let you the main pages, although the news stories seem to have had rules excluding them from being archived.

It looks like at some point they allowed "thebattalion.com" (where the archives were hosted) to expire and just go with "thebatt.com", without saving the archives.
