considering links go stale, could you consider expanding this into a standalone answer? – Journeyman Geek May 17 '11 at 06:32
@Journeyman Geek: The article is much too long for that. Remark that links never go stale because the Wayback Machine is there, and it's not the only one. – harrymc May 17 '11 at 07:03
@harrymc Wayback Machine does not archive everything. Some sites forbid robots and WM considers itself a robot. What are the others if WM is not the only one? – Roland Pihlakas May 24 '16 at 23:02
