So, I was checking myself out on the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://raincoaster.com/ and I find I haven't been indexed since May 29, 2008. Anybody got any ideas why? Trust me, my blog has NEVER been private!
The blog I need help with is raincoaster.com.
Um, once again that link is:
June 2008 for me.
Did they run out of storage space?
Dunno. Is that for your wp.com blog or your independently-hosted one?
I just tried
http://mark.wordpress.com
http://barry.wordpress.com
http://ma.tt
http://gigaom.com
http://raincoaster.wordpress.com
and none have an entry for 2009
I also tried
http://osx.iusethis.com/
http://tamba2.org.uk/T2
and neither have an entry for 2009
So it looks like they changed something or they broke?
It's certainly nothing here - the bot that crawls sites checks and acts on the robots.txt and we do not block it.
Maybe there's a waiting period before they post your archive?
Why are there no recent archives in the Wayback Machine?
It generally takes 6 months or more for pages to appear in the Wayback Machine after they are collected, because of delays in transferring material to long-term storage and indexing.

Strange. But their Announcement forum has no news.
And May, 2008 is WAY more than six months ago.
