A lot of the old original content from gamespot is no longer online. Is this a temporary thing? Will that content be returning? It seems really ironic that gamespot has a post celebrating 18 years of the site but much of the content from those years is gone.

Several old video contents are temporarily down because they've yet to be converted to the new format and as such the videos weren't playing anyway; some old reviews/ratings are not visible but are believed to still be there on the back end as well, similarly stack/games followed/owned/etc information is all there still.

If there's something I've missed that appears to be missing then please do give an example and a little bit more detail.

@robotopbuddy: I"m mainly talking about the Features articles like The History of Console RPGs http://web.archive.org/web/20030626004626/http://www.gamespot.com/features/vgs/universal/rpg_hs/ and a history of rts games: http://web.archive.org/web/20010504131043/http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/real_time/p6_01.html

Hmm, I'm not sure if there's been anything said on them ones (they're both extremely old from many many site redesigns ago though, which is likely part of the reason why they appear to be missing) so I'm going to leave it to @LarkAnderson or another staff member to answer. They're quite busy so you may have to wait a while for a response however.

Unfortunately, some pieces of content have been lost without any indication of when it might return.
