Then send them emails at Feedback@wowhead.com or start reporting your posts to have them observe this thread, instead of just 'standing around screaming at the sky'.

My high horse comment was mostly directed at comments like "the community gathered the data" and "they don't have a monopoly on it." And as Adamsm said, there are other ways of asking for something like this.
The original thread was a "where did it go?" and the devs answered that.

I'm almost getting the feeling that given the devs haven't made any comment since we've been asking for a downloadable version, that it's one of a few things:
1) They don't have it ready for download (would be nice to at least know)
2) They don't plan to release it back to us (which would suck)
3) They purged the data to clear space to make way for new changes (in which case, I'm sure we'll all be pissed)
At any rate, it would be nice at this point to be told as to what is going to happen. If they're going to make it downloadable, I will wait patiently then for the data. If they're not going to release it for whatever reason, I'd like to know so we can find another means to be able to acquire the information elsewhere.

I think it is safe to assume that we will neither see the archive back, nor will be see some sort of download.

Your all probly right. And as a FYI I have several times in past tried to contact wowhead dev team via email and they NEVER EVER responded (NOT ONCE). So emailing them is completely useless.

Hmm, I've contacted them several times and gotten a response each time.
To quote a mod from another thread:
In addition to this - as a future reference - keep in mind that we don't have a large team of Staffers, and depending on the day of the week and the amount of emails received, it may take up to several days to receive a response. We are, unfortunately, only humans.

Well we are going on about 6 months now... dunno if that qualifies as a few days...
Anyways, I would like to hear from the Wowhead team with some sort of answer to the recent discussion on this topic. It is the least they can do..

Then start reporting your own posts, asking the mods to come and answer. Just randomly saying it over and over again will do nothing as the mods do not look into every single thread.

Report your posts that you need answered, and also ask why they haven't been responding to email. It may be they just overlooked it.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait until you get a response to your mail, or until one of our admins replies to this thread. The moderators have no part in this issue, and reporting your post will not speed up the process.(##RESPBREAK##)140##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

Contrary to popular belief, it was never exactly stated that we would release the old database files if and when old.wowhead was taken down. TheOnyx's quote was just a tad misunderstood, and my apologies for that. We honestly didn't expect to take old.wowhead down, but due to some relatively major code changes that would render most of the site completely broken, and the lack of proper reason to justify the time to fix it, we ended up doing so.
However, upon further consideration we have reviewed the pageviews and statistics (as well as this topic, u guys so mad!) and have decided that we will re-introduce old.wowhead for your viewing pleasure. No ETA at this very moment but rest assured it will make its triumphant(?) return soon™.

I just want to say thank you for reconsidering and bringing the site back online. I know that I, and several people from my guild who also noticed the change over the past few days, are extremely grateful. :)

Thank You Very Much!
This is appreciated and thank you for the time to consider our requests.

That leaves me with only one thing to say:
Thank you very much, Wowhead crew!
It would have been a real loss if that piece of game history would have been gone forever.

^ this.
I really appreciate that the devs, mods & users took the time to not only look at this concern but to address it. I don't wonder why this is the best WoW community out there. :D
