The Internet Archives/Wayback Machine'...

Anyone check this site/program out?
It's got (almost) everything...(but it is frustrating to get so close to finding some stuff, and having it not been archived)

Anyone find any post-K2-pre Daniel purge stuff with this site?
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

It also has music, all kinds of datum.
Hey Gnarbuckle...what a sweet, sweet Pm.
Thanks, sunshine!:wink::wink:(call me, I have JUST the place for you!)

Didn't have what I was looking for.

That humid August night in 1983 when you realized you have a thing for barnyard animals?

Fucking fucks made it so we can't even look at old stuff by adding robots.txt to the forums.

What does that mean?
The Standard for Robot Exclusion (SRE) is a means by which web site owners can instruct automated systems not to crawl their sites... Alexa, the company that crawls the web for the Internet Archive, does respect robots.txt instructions, and even does so RETROACTIVELY.

They only put the robots.txt into the forums, so a bunch of front pages are accessible, but no forums. What dicks.

Annoying that that code exists and super annoying someone made the effort to implement it here

Ah, ok, and yea, that sucks.

What got me thinking of The Bay Guardian was reading an article about a similar publication in Seattle, The Rocket...

Being music-focused BAM Magazine was probably more of a spiritual cousin to The Rocket. I suspect archived versions of both might be on The Internet Archive, but I haven't searched for them.

Did stumble across this though, which might be of interest to anyone who's made it here...

Now, all 336 issues — more than 16,000 pages of Seattle music history spanning 1979 to 2000 — have been digitized, made searchable by keyword and are available to the public for free at tinyurl.com/rocketpaper. The recently completed project was spearheaded by former longtime Rocket editor Charles R. Cross, who owned the paper from 1986 to 1995, along with the University of Washington and Washington State Library and its Washington Digital Newspapers project.
