GameFAQs archives

Since the Challenge Mode competition began on GameFAQs in late 2001, there have been five complete 500-message threads that have come and gone. They are full of history and silliness and even the odd flamewar. They're a fun history of the competition and the people involved.

Thanks to RockMFR5 for preserving archive sets 1 through 4, and DistantSpring54 for the fifth!
