Are the existing guides completely gone?

I created a handful of guides on the old site, one of which was apparently accessed quite a bit.Are they completely gone now, or have they just not been ported over to the new site yet?

Guides weren't automatically carried over. You should ask @lordandrew, I believe he's archived many of the guides from the old site.

If lordandrew doesn't have yours, try getting it through an archive.

This was of earlier this month.

Looking through the archives that @sexytoad just posted, it actually seems that all three are intact:

Fallout 3: Melee Guide

Geometry Wars 2

Oblivion: Building a Mage

Should be simple enough getting them back into the system on this side, though with the unified guide system you may want to see what other people are doing with the Oblivion and FO3 guides before adding them in. A section on character builds in both those games would probably be a pretty good addition.

I intend to strip the data to just the guide content and author info, but yes I do have access to all guides. The only guides that are lost are the ones that were never made public.

Appreciate it; I'll take a look later and try to bring them back onto the site.
