Yes. Seen went offline soon after 9/11. No sense going into the story. Actually, at the top of some of the more recently uploaded articles, I do provide links to the original both at seen.com (which does work) and - yes - the originals at NCN are linked at the bottom, but to the archive index at
http://www.newciv.org/c4cYou will see at the archive index, that I have provided both alternatives, and updated the articles both at the top, just below each title, and at the end of each article, a link to quick topic. Since it was the original intent of the articles that they should be interactive, I've tried to alter the old links within the body of the articles, to link directly to the quick topic version.
As far as where you, or anyone should really start, (now that I think about it;) is at the NCN archive listing. That's because the articles are listed in order of publication. The shared topic page lists them in order of uploading ... and then if I am not mistaken, most recent commented.
