I know the majority of the commentaries were wiped a while back, but the few that survived that have also been sunk in the last few weeks, leaving nothing left on that website.

I did actually save these remaining commentaries onto my computer some time ago, so they still exist with me at least.

Still, a shame that there's nothing left on there from the years of dedicated work put into it :?

The perils of posting anything on a website. If the website goes, then all the posts do.

In 'trope' speak, it's known as 'Lost Forever'.

We already saw the loss of 'ilovedealornodeal' and although the 'Wayback Machine' archive project does try and capture many websites for posterity, it was unable to save any of the videos that were hosted on ilovedond. That's a hell of a lot of content to just vanish into the ether.

Wayback doesn't seem to work for Haloscan (where the old commentaries were hosted). Sadly the Haloscan pages aren't on Archive.com
