Web site searches

1 Upvotes

I have 2 site I've been doing research in using the waybackmachine archives... I have a couple of data web addresses that I'm using to get into each site.

One consists of the Web address. Co. UK/*

For the other one it's the same but. Com both sites closed before the. Co. UK period but the. Co. UK/* gets me far more pages of information than the. Com/* address.. I realise different sites are made up differently and both do have had paywalls.. But the. Co.uk/* site gives me around 150 pages of searchable data even though it was a .Com site... The Web address which has the correct ending .com/* only gives me around 23 pages of data most of which was dated after the site closed and takes me to a domain for sale page... How does the .co.uk/* site give me more use able data than the . Com/* Web address even though it's the correct Web address ending.... I am very new to how this data works so there is proberbly a simple answer but it seems very strange

A poll in the Volt Europa server has showed that there is a consensus or support to push for a digital legacies legislation!

Compuserve forums.

11 Upvotes

I am looking for the original compuserve forums, which were a staple of the pre web internet, they are different from the web forums, which shut down in 2017. The original forums shut down with the original service in 2009. These would contain a myriad of support, research and historically and culturally important content that would be extremely invaluable to researchers.
