Jim,
What you did is go directly to the URL (address) for the discussion pages without the benefit of the Frames that the website was created in. Once there, you can click on the forum home link and then save it as one of your "favorites" or "bookmarks" depending on what browser you use.
I recommend entering the Lugerforum (especially for new folks) at the homepage level just because this site is more than just discussions... you can always jump to just the discussions if that is what you want for display purposes or just personal preferences.
Lastly, we do not purge the discussion pages or archives on this website because there is too much good information posted that couldn't be recovered if we just discarded it... the only way that we might lose that stuff is if the provider of our space (John D.) suffered an non-recoverable hardware failure... and we all pray that this never happens!
In your profile, you can set how long you want to be able to see back posts... one of the choices is "all posts" and you can page through a couple of years of discussions... or you can limit it to just a couple of days and your web pages will load much faster... your choice.
As an admin, I find it necessary to keep mine set to view everything all the time, but if you visit frequently, you might be satisfied by only seeing what was posted in the last couple of weeks...
Hope this has been helpful.
