They stay there.
Edit:
I don't know about *banned,* but someone asked about this ... I believe while the issue was still in beta, and we were told they'd stay up. (Of course, if there's a change that makes the arc unplayable, it can't get fixed, but it's still on the server - so who knows what they'd do in the future.)
I can confirm they stay up, since my brother put up a couple story arcs during reactivation week, and they are still up even though he didn't resubscribe.

I suspect this falls on the list of things that they figured there was no point worrying about yet back when the AE was being developed. I hope it is now on the list of things that they realize they will have to deal with at some point. I am a strong believer having missions go "out of print" under some circumstances.

I figured i would ask, im guessing they dont stay published. But when your account runs out what happens to your arcs?
Do they stay on the publish server? or do they get pulled from being able to be played? what happens to the ratings if they are pulled? Is there some sorta limbo that the published arc wont be playable but still stored on their servers? Do they stay for a certain leanth of time?
Just wondering how all this stuff works.
