Are there any rotten web archive links?

@lucifargundam @Acer

I think they're referring to dead links (link rot).

The internet archive is used to store web contents, so if the contents were archived before the web site at that link went down (or before the contents were otherwise removed for the link), then a link to the archived site should still have it. But if the link was archived after the contents "rotted" then it would have the contents at that point (or an error message).

@Pat @lucifargundam

Yes, I meant dead links.

No. I didn't mean archives of dead links. I meant dead archives of links.

@Acer @Pat
So do no you mean forgotten or abandoned archives?

ascii pic of a thumb-up. may not appear correctly on some platforms.

@lucifargundam @Acer

Okay. I tried looking at it from a distance thinking that that is what is was, but it didn't work.

I just now displayed it in mono font and now it is clear.
