Seriously, the Wayback Machine is awesome. Just last week I used it to find a website I made twelve years ago at the ripe age of 10. If there are any maintainers/developers reading this, thank you. The fact that they were able to preserve a masterpiece like this means a lot to me: http://web.archive.org/web/20010124071800/http://expage.com/...

That's exactly the kind of website they should be preserving! The future people will be glad that we kept some ephemera around.
And I love that website - just so blue; and comic sans not used ironically; and animated gifs; and the guestbook.

Agreed. Back in '96 I was a teenager who spent all his free time running a modest gaming fan website [1]. I dropped it when I went to college a year later, but its nice to know all that hard work will forever be memorialized within the wayback machine. It helps me remember why I became a software engineer in the first place. Thanks for that. [1] http://web.archive.org/web/19970414022225/http://www.scorche...
that's great ;-)
robots.txt should have a limit; it shouldn't be applied retroactively so aggressively.
Does anyone know what database they use? Or just files and folders?
My only gripe with the wayback machine is that when old sites go offline and some random domain squatter picks up the domain when it expires, they apply the current robots.txt to all of the old content making archive.org useless. robots.txt should have a limit; it shouldn't be applied retroactively so aggressively.
