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)

I do use archive.org, and contribute to it myself(through the ArchiveTeam). I don't really browse it much, but it has been useful when doing research.

I've used it multiple times to look at found media and watch some KaBlam epsidoes too

I couldn't find the old Fandom forums on the MSM wiki which was the first online community I was part of

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.

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I USE THE WAYBACK MACHINE how do you think enstarries thrive off the old stories

of course i have :D
my favorite thing i discovered was a whole internet music label!! (dancecorps.net, most of their files are hosted on archive.org; i actually only learned abt them bc an anon asked me here about one of their releases so i googled it)

ive only really used it for the gorillaz website cause theres loootsss of good stuff there :3 its pretty well backed up too
