First of all, my apologizes, this does not really contribute to the "SAVE COH" movement at all, I just thought it was neat.
I recently stumbled upon a website called "Waybackmachine"
The way it works, is you go here
http://archive.org/web/web.php
At the top of the page you enter in the URL, if it goes thru you can view archived websites from years upon years ago. I am currently viewing the COH website in 2004, and man the nostalgic rush.
Also, if you want a direct link to it, this works as well

Yeah, Wayback Machine is great, :)
Not everything has been archived yet, though. Most recent stuff will only go live around the end of May. :-\
:( Just makes me want to play again that much more.
Wow...I had almost forgotten just how far the game has come since then graphically.
And check out that old configuration of Atlas Park!

What I wouldn't give to just play that. Beta version. Don't care, just give me something.
My only weird issue with wbt is that I keep getting the NCSOFT - Heroes is gone, thanks for everything, keep flying blah blah blah splash page any time I go more than one or two levels into the forums. In any year. Even if I go wayyyyy back.
I've double checked everything I can think of, cache, etc. I can't begin to think how or why archive.org would be redirecting to a 'new' splash page from 'old' archives. Tried diff browsers and installed a new one even just to triple check. They can't 'backwords' eat the archives with redirects can they?
That is really odd, I seemed to only get that during a certain time frame, which I can not remember.
I find the Arena issue the most nostalgic for me to read, that was around when I first joined.

That means the page in question has not been archived. Wayback Machine then attempts to send you to the live URL with it as a proxy.

No, altough they can 'eat' them period using robots.txt .
