Have you ever used The Internet Archive (archive.org) or its WayBack Machine? If so, what's your favorite thing that you've discovered there?
(If you haven't used it, I recommend taking a visit now and browsing around a bit, it's my favorite site on the Internet)
Yes, mainly looking for drama on a game
I used it a bunch of times, but it's been a while
I use it often enough to donate to it yearly. The first thing that comes up when thinking about what would be my favorite is a whole rabbit hole on Japanese equivalents of RSS feeds that came out in the same period as the first versions of RSS. I translated the documentations I found via the Wayback Machine for Hina-Di and LIRS, two formats I found. But there are so many other things. I grab old Windows updates, obsolete utilities, PSP games, cool icons, ISO standards that would otherwise cost hundreds, and occasionally read books to get some technical documentation… or magic.
I couldn't find the old Fandom forums on the MSM wiki which was the first online community I was part of
i nevered used it beofre?
I've used it many times (over the years), but not really that often in the scheme of things. I don't usually "discover" things on it, just find things I already knew once existed, or follow links people give to webpages on it. But I guess a couple interesting things I (sort of) discovered were my old website from back in the '90s and my friend's old website from the same time period.
articles about my faves that were long gone
ive only really used it for the gorillaz website cause theres loootsss of good stuff there :3 its pretty well backed up too
