Even a fair amount of the archived linkshells are still active, just, their users didn't confirm it on the RPC, and that's how the staff have handled how they get archived so we can guarantee that the linkshells listed are active, or were active until very recently.
I'd still generally recommend PMing the original creator if interested, as well as checking on the lodestone, as it could still be active in game without a presence on the RPC. (The information here is only as updated as the people who contribute it).
