  Yup. Expect that everything lasts exactly as long as you don’t want it to.

  And if it’s an forum discussion with a solution to your current technical problem, the link will be dead.

  If it’s some critical information, that is only published in one place, and you need to cite it for a paper, then it’s either gone or modified beyond recognition.

  So the critical information may be best preserved if in some way associated with unscrupulous, dubious information? Or in other words, the tried and true folktale/embellishment transmission method?

    Yeah, just post something critical online and in the author section write something like “the author likes to masturbate in front of a window during the day while hula dancing” and the critical info will survive the heat death of the universe.

    Did you know I have a tattoo on my penis? It’s the full text of “New Economist Intelligence Unit Report: Open Banking – Revolution or Evolution?” from Temenos.

      I hope you also have a t-shirt that says, ‘stop staring at my face, the citation is down here’

  Sometimes entire journals disappear (or maybe they never existed to begin with)
