I've used it when a thread I was watching dies while I'm afk/asleep.
It's not useless to me, although I don't use it that often.

Given that other websites have archives, it isn't a useful feature, but it is useful in that we shouldn't have to rely on offshore sites to make 4chan useful.

That all being said, I don't fully agree with the notion of having archives in the first place, but accepting that they do exist, I think 4chan's inline archives are a welcome redundancy in the system to make the system more complete.

I forgot to mention, I like the archives in that they show you which threads weren't deleted by mods/theOP.

No, because whenever I want to use 4chan while at work, 4chan is usualy blocked anyway.
