5. Thanks!

I am impressed it has been archived that long.

7. Scroll across the bar graph at the top of the page.

Shows how many posts have been added to the archives from 2003 to 2022.

3. Oops

I guess they’ve seen worse writing and comment quality though as far as my personal collection of internet detritus though

Well done on keeping everything running and preservation quality

6. Did we get an LC classification? e.g. BS The Bible!

11. The LOC web archives is huge. And not particularly selective. Free Republic is included, too.

From the Library of Congress website:
"It takes many partners and collaborators to create the Library's web archive, because any way you measure it, the archive is enormous.... 3.7 petabytes of data, 14,594 seed URLs, 200 countries of publication, 122 languages, 78 active collections, and 188 total collections

12. At least history will learn the truth

and realize we had it right 98% of the time.

We will outlive the quarkings of three toes MTG.

13. Cool! It's too blurry to read the OP when I blow it up. Please tell me it's

the one about Oscar the mixed animal.

I think that represents us best.

14. Part of the "Papal Transition 2005 Web Archive". We're on a Mission from God!

Though, oddly, all the captures for 2005 are from September onwards, and Benedict XVI became Pope in April 2005 (the Papal listing implies it was something in 2002 that was relevant, but there are about 30 there, so I'm not going to check them).

LOL - also in the Papal transition archive:

Landover Baptist | Where the Worthwhile Worship. Unsaved Unwelcome.
Homepage of the ficticious Landover Baptist Church; includes sermon "The Pope's Message from Hell" by Harry Hardwick. Website. electronic | Electronic (Form).
Contributor: Landover Baptist Church - Hardwick, Harry
Date: 2002

The Library of Congress has a sense of humour!
