In the old days, plain HTML sites, sure. But with script-based sites, nope. Archive.org is filled with broken sites these days, as the site backends are missing. Only the front-ended frame or display pages exist, not the actual content. In this case, the actual displayed manual may be 404. Most alarming is when entire forums have disappeared, taking with it tomes of collective knowledge. We've rescued 3 such video-related forums to date, archiving the posts in our archive forum.

The site is only a few years old. I'm just not trusting, as I've seen far too much information disappear over the years. The idea that "once something is online, it's there forever" is laughably false. I know of quite a few things that are essentially erased from public existence now. In fact, some of the documents attached to this site are ONLY available still because of our archival actions within the video community.
