Not sure how well it’s “working” considering any of the archived pages might be altered by the site’s administrator to further their causes. There’s a reason why Wikipedia stopped trusting them.


I agree, it makes sense for large source-reliant projects like Wikipedia to stop using them. However, for the end-user, it's often the service that works best.


Please provide example of such cases?



Sounds like fair game. Jani is trying to destroy the archive.


If that is the case, he succeeded since the archive totally lost all credibility in an instant.


Maybe in the eyes of some, but the archive is still up and the operator is not dead to two shots to the back of the head.


Only to people who think archiving outside of the bounds of the law doesn't count, such as yourself.
