Krusnik87 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi everyone, HEre's the link to internet archives, which allow you to play, view, listen, read, to all kinds of products, which have their licence free now. You'll even be able to play old video games, such as outrun published in 1986... Enjoy! https://archive.org/index.php ps: You won't find anything recent, exept if it's open source, or freeware. So, nope, you won't find the last movie of Deadpool, or the last ID software project... 2 Quote

Leader RedBaird Posted March 22, 2016 Leader Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) BTW, I looked up the first =F|A= pages saved by the WayBack Machine. FA's 21 Jan 2009 Home Page FA's 19 Feb 2009 Roster Some of the links on the pages may actually lead to later versions of the linked-to page. (When FA got fancy pages. ) Don't expect to find any images. I don't know if the Wayback Machine saves them now, but they didn't use to. Okay, it looks like they do save graphical files now, as their Home Page says: Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, and more. https://archive.org/index.php ADDED in 2020: I usually click on 'notifications' to see WTH somebody might have reacted to. I too often find typos that I can correct. In this case @GHARIB 's notification led me back to 2016 post, from before the New Forums update was installed by DD. I found that a copy & paste from that era had a black-on-dark-theme line here, so I changed it to green for readability for future forum "archeologists" (like Gharib 😄 ) Changes that I make to posts are normally in Green, just for clarity. 😄 I do confess my mistakes, just like in 'the confessional', but they are much more public here. 😄 I do hope that this green color shows up well in all of the "new forums" themes now, in 2021. 👀 Edited November 2, 2021 by RedBaird they DO save image files now! (+2021, fix pasted info for the 'new forums' :D 2 1 Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted March 22, 2016 Leader Posted March 22, 2016 MAN, OH, MAN, do they have a lot more stuff than the last time I checked the site, (dunno how many years ago), when it was text-only. Storage has gotten a lot cheaper since then. 1 Quote

Krusnik87 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) @ Krusnik87, I want to Thank You a lot for reminding me of this wonderful site. It has gotten far larger over the years with an immense number of new features. You're welcome mate! For those who had no idea about this, here's something to learn a bit more about Internet Archives: The Internet Archive is a San Francisco-based nonprofit digital library with the stated mission of "universal access to all knowledge".It provides free public access to collections of digitized materials, including web sites, software applications/games, music, movies/videos, moving images, and nearly three million public-domain books. As of May 2014, its collection topped 15 petabytes.In addition to its archiving function, the Archive is an activist organization, advocating for a free and open Internet. The Internet Archive allows the public to upload and download digital material to its data cluster, but the bulk of its data is collected automatically by its web crawlers, which work to preserve as much of the public web as possible. Its web archive, The Wayback Machine, contains over 150 billion web captures.The Archive also oversees one of the world's largest book digitization projects. Founded by Brewster Kahle in May 1996, the Archive is a nonprofit operating in the United States. It has an annual budget of $10 million, derived from a variety of sources: revenue from its Web crawling services, various partnerships, grants, donations, and the Kahle-Austin Foundation. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California, where about 30 of its 200 employees work[citation needed]. Most of its staff work in its book-scanning centers. The Archive has data centers in three Californian cities, San Francisco, Redwood City, and Richmond. Its collection is mirrored for stability and endurance at both the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt and at another facility in Amsterdam. The Archive is a member of the International Internet Preservation Consortium and was officially designated as a library by the State of California in 2007. source: wikipedia.org Edited March 22, 2016 by Krusnik87 1 Quote
