Obviously, Chris, you spend too much time reading other boards and not enough reading WebHostingTalk. That's causing you to be several months behind in your knowledge the web's latest developments:

I think you are right there creid.

I have to agree, that is a neat site, it was interesting to see what WHT looked like 2 years ago.

"How does it work?" specifics are on this page: http://www.archive.org/about/faq-wayback.html#8

I love the idea, but it's unfortunate that the "IA Archiver" spider operated by Alexa for the Internet Archive has a pretty bad record and reputation for being abusive, and so is disallowed by a lot of webmasters. Similarly, many sites ban it just because they don't want people to be able to so easily see into their pasts.
