I just went over there to retrieve an article snapshot that I pulled up last year, and the snapshot is fucking GONE from the Wayback Machine.

I know it was there a year ago because last time I pulled up the snapshot I saved the entire page as a PDF file which shows the snapshot date and the date the pdf was generated. So I'm literally looking at the snapshot date on the pdf file and the snapshots available on the Wayback Machine and it's not there anymore.

SAVE EVERYTHING - IT WILL BE SCRUBBED!!!!!
