'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because they weaponised their site's visitors to [[wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack#Distributed_DoS|DDOS]] some guy's blogs for bizarre internet argument reasons (which calls into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it), and it's also been alleged that they have tampered with archive pages, which hurts our ability to rely on the site as an archive which can be used to actually verify things and support the claims made in articles.
