i'll put it here in comments. go to archive.is, it turns into archive.fo.

It still comes up as archive.is for me. I just picked a random article off the front page and saved it on there. Here is the article I just saved - http://archive.is/L1AER

Though, as /u/derram mentioned above, changing the domain to .fo loads up the same page.

AND as derram said, try adding .today at the end, not just .fo apparenlty that works too. HOW MANY ARE THERE ARCHIVE?

this is now derram's post.

Something is odd, a post in v/politics is showing the .fo addy. I ain't clicking it though.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

well, derram's got an idea :)

Looks like an alternate domain, like https://archive.today

Changing the domain to fo on some of the archives from my bot work the same.

ok,

so they're just hostin' from multiple locations?

their host is in many locations?

what do you think?

derram ago

Different IPs for each, so multiple locations.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

how many you think they have?

we're having 2 comment chains in different posts at once now.

http://archive.is/ seems legit.

and do you click on it? did you look up at the little bar where it actually says the website name?

"https://archive.fo/" is what i get.
