How to Search Previous Year Classifieds

Post by Duckwing » Tue Feb 19, 2019 9:52 pm

There must be a way but when I try to search old classifieds all I get is 2018.

Approx every 6 months or so the classifieds are purged and Chris may have done that with the 2018 ads. There would be no reason to keep old ads that are taking room on the server and not being used. I have not found an effective way to search the classifieds doing a google search.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

You can alway visit the way back machine but it gets a little hit and miss.

In fact, you can look up any old website using this resource.

Way back works good! I just hunted down and saved the bits from the classifieds when I got my "3 T's and parts" on Aug 02 2016!
That was pretty fun to see again!
BUT. Who's been saving the internet everything since 1996 to the internet archive? ALEXA Internet and ALEXA Crawls. Yikes.
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated
