You are way too late, his stories were already archived before your posting!

Sorry but you are wrong!
At the time of posting I had The Old Guy's page open in another window and it definitely was not premium at that time.

Hmm,
this rises another question: How long was this window and the page open without update? AFAIK, (most) browsers do not update (actualize) open pages automatically.
If you didn't actualize this browser window before clicking "Post" you can't know when the stories were actually archived, before or after the posting.

The Old Guy's page was open for about 1 minute before I posted, The time it took me to post the link and type "I fell through time travel western series is a great story".

FYI I got to that page by clicking on the link in "Up for Archival"
Any more hail marys you want to come up with or will you apologise and admit you were wrong?

My answer was posted 32 minutes and 30 seconds after your posting.
I was already looking through the latest forum posts and saw your posting, maybe 10 minutes after you posted it. I went back to the home page and clicked on the link "Up for Archival" sorted by author and couldn't find Old Guy's stories. So I switched back to the forum and your posting and clicked on the link there. Old Guy's page came up with all stories marked as premium. Back again to your posting, wrote my answer and clicked "Post".

Seems my conclusion was wrong and his stories got archived during the about 20 minutes between your posting and my looking them up. Weird.

I was following his story "The Journey" until he suddenly stopped writing at the end of February 2008, it is a bit surprising that he was still visiting this site 10 years later (if his stories have just been archived).

His stories were on the 'To Be Archived' list from about 2022-08-01_05-17-30 BST, the actual archiving (to behind the paywall) occurred at about 2022-08-08_17-30 BST, so the first two posts in this thread neatly bracketed the archiving.
