Hate dead links? Do your duty! Submit URLs to archive.org (Internet Way Back Machine)!

Don't you hate it when a link that someone (or yourself) posted is dead? Either you get an error 404, page not found or are redirected to some other page w/o the content?

Do your duty by taking some time to submit content to archive.org! Just copy the URL, go to Internet Archive: Wayback Machine and paste the URL into the box underneath The Wayback Machine. You might have to click Latest a few times to get it to submit.

For instance, I noticed many of the Toyota links at Toyota to replace 2004-2009 Prius gas pedals, give new all-weather mats | Page 4 | PriusChat are now dead. But somebody did submit them so that we can have the benefit of looking at their content later.

I added a bookmark to Internet Archive: Wayback Machine in Firefox's bookmark toolbar so it's pretty quick and easy for me to get there.

Unfortunately, if the site excludes robots via robots.txt file, the page won't get archived and there's not much you can do about it...

 

Bumping...

There was a complaint at Danny Read This - Your Forum Software SUCKS! | Page 3 | PriusChat about some 33 page thread that vanished. If anyone thinks a thread or page here (or anywhere else) is important, get it archived.
