MeTa archives goes to MeTa-ish AskMe

The current archives button from MeTa takes me to a page formatted like MeTa but containing Ask MeFi's threads.

Look closely. It's giving you all MeTa posts including Ask MeFi. Ask MeFi is, at this point in time, still just a category of MetaTalk. The Ask MeTa volume is so high that the regular MeTa threads are diluted, but if you look closely you'll see them in there.

Sorry. I meant Ask Metafilter, of course.

Yeah, it effectively renders the MeTa archives useless if you're actually looking for archived MeTa threads. I really hope Matt can get around to hiving off AskMeFi into a separate section with its own archives.
