...It might even be possible to use this technique to build an even more complete snapshot by tracking the dead links on the page version you just posted, then checking to see if those links work on other archived dates in the Wayback Machine. Yes, it would be a lot of work, but if you're feeling motivated (or bored)...

I always have a lot to do in my life. I'm literally never bored. However now I'm not really feeing very motivated to do a lot more work for this, on top the hours I've already spent on this.

Indeed. I am a completely self-taught web master (web novice really). The Library of Fanmade Documents is my current level of capability in web building, and it took many, many hours of work. Long ago I built web pages slightly more advanced (sites which also only survive through the Wayback Machine). If someone handed me functional HTML files of the main page and all the other pages (or even most), I could saved them all in the proper folder organization and upload them one-by-one to build a site which I'm guessing would be a little more complex than the Library. But I would still have to dig through the HTML coding on every single page and update all the URLs, which would still take a lot of time.

Since this archive does not seem as appreciated as I thought it would be, I don't know that it would really be worth it to spend all the time needed to rebuild this properly.

Neat! I never saw the old site, so this will be an interesting read.

Every month when I backup the forum, I also check the Wayback Machine. The good news is, the archive of the original RANCOR PIT website has consistently been available since I found it in August 2018.

I know it is low interest among modern forum users, but the original Rancor Pit website is still archived, month after month.

I actually appreciate the archive. Though I don't visit it often, I'll occasionally remember there was something there that I needed, and I'm glad to have it there when I want it.
