I can't reach ODD through the Wayback machine anymore!! What's wrong? Can someone give me some advise? It would be a shame when this site is permanently gone forever :(

I haven't used the way back machine to access ODD in a few months. Will try later on this evening to see if I come up with a different result.

I don't know whats wrong. Ever since ODD is down I use the wayback machine and have bookmarked the link. Now it doesn't work anymore.....

Well this sucks. I tried to reach the top of the site and it says that it cannot be accessed because of robot.txt. robot.txt is an exclusion that site owners can ask to have put in place to prevent webcrawling and access to previous content.

So it sounds like the previous owner has prevented access to the archive entirely. :(

Gosh, this is terrible! I have the feeling there were many fics which weren't on other archive sites. Now they are gone forever :(
