Why is the chat archive restricted?

[DuskEngine]

Chat archive is a neat feature and I want to be able to access it.

If you're really afraid of obamatron datamining your memes just restrict it to supporters.

It's bloody unfair. I liked it a lot.

who needs an archive? chat is logged and posted on other sites

I really enjoyed the option where you could search your own name and see how many people have been talking about you when you weren't there

I never got a chance to search my name
