The day the Wayback Machine saved my research paper

I was writing about early 2000s indie game development and needed a reference from a site called GameDev.net that I knew had vanished around 2022. Found a cached snapshot from 2004 through the Wayback Machine with the exact forum thread I needed, including screenshots. Has anyone else had a dead link that actually had a preserved copy that saved their work?

Those old backups usually have broken images or missing code so hardly usable.

Totally feel you. @olivias88 sometimes those partial saves still do the job.
