Hey!
Sure thing, the WayBack Machine is a great tool for finding old websites and files, especially after events like the "Vimm's Lair apocalypse." I know not everyone is familiar with it, but it can really help you find what you're looking for without overloading the servers.
Regarding unique stuff on Emuparadise (EP), it's true that it has a lot of cool and unique content. However, with too many people trying to access the site at once, it can crash. That's where the WayBack Machine can save the day. You just enter the site address on WayBack, and you get access to archived versions.
So, if someone is looking for something specific, I highly recommend using the WayBack Machine to ease the load on EP servers and still get the materials you need.
Good luck with your search!
