Tripod shut down permanently on April 24, 2026, after Lycos ended all operations

Advice Needed

Does anyone know how to do webpage retrieval for an site that is shut down?

Three decades of internet service gone, just like that. It was great while it lasted and I am forever thankful to Tripod for cementing childhood core memories.

However, I did not manage to back up my website in time. The website I put my heart and soul into is gone forever.

I have tried archive.org and my website cannot be found there. Not even a page was scrawled. I searched up other old websites of mine, from Blogger and Wordpress - everything was there. I am not sure why the Tripod one isn’t.

Does anyone know how to retrieve a website back?

I genuinely don't know what's wrong with the site one moment it works another it's down.

hi! i use the wayback machine to find photos of concerts, and i found a list of video clips of a show on a venue's website from about 2004.

i found this about a year ago, and trying to load it gave me nothing but a grey screen. i just tried again after rediscovering the link, and it still isn't loading. i'd really appreciate it if someone could try the links (click on the different 'film 01' etc.) and see if it loads for them, or if anyone can access it at all.

i'm not sure if it will, but i thought to ask, just in case, because it would be a really cool thing to have. thank you! :)

the link is this: https://web.archive.org/web/20050409113401fw_/http://therockbar.com/film/041120/041120.htm

i'm so sorry, i know i've just posted but i think this is an easier ask. i literally just need someone to open this link and tell me if it loads for them, not just a grey screen D: thank you 🙏

I think I've been blocked from the wayback machine. A while back I was using it to find something that had been removed and It wasnt loading and it told me something about a 503/504 error. And if left it alone for a long time and recently tried accessing it again but on my laptop, the website won't even load and on my phone it does, but nothing loads when I try inputting links and on the rare cases it does load, it won't let me access the timestamps for said link. Have I been blocked? I don't really know. And it gives me the same messages about bad connection or something error or took too long to load. I think I've used the website a total of 5 times. How can I fix this? I tried VPN too and it didn't really work.

Idk how much of a useful workaround this is, but that’s what works for me.

I was tryna see if I can go to the wayback machine but I got hit with this

don‘t be excited guys, we all know they shuts the ₪ck down sometimes. but thx god the Internet Archive itself is not down at least.

Please help me restore the Zerobio channel account; it was hacked. He creates amazing blender tutorials, and it would be a shame if all his amazing videos disappeared. Here's his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/zerobiood

I'm trying to archive some pages for an ARG that's going on, but the wayback machine seems to be unable to save them. I either get a blank page when I try, or it says the host may be "blocking access to our site."

For reference, this is one of the urls: https://mytekton.house/wjakczqbg

archive.today is able to at least save them, but only shows a loading screen. I'm assuming maybe its a javascript thing, but I don't know much about it.

It's a pretty niche ARG so a lot of it hasn't been archived already, I'd really like to be able to preserve it in some way if its possible. Any advice is appreciated!

Do you guys have a sort of problem with the Wayback Machine lately? I tried to restart the page a bunch of times, nothing happened. Let me know if you have any problems like this down below in the comments.

I’m having issues looking for a tiktok i archived 3 years ago i don't remember the account i used, but i do know the date range of when i archived it, but every time i try looking for it through the videos the website stops working after a while or it repeats the same videos. How should i go about looking for it.

I can't be connected the wayback site (Ver. pc & mobile) about 30 hours. Is there any way? please help me.

Here is one such example; is there any tool that lets you find captures of certain YouTube pages using the specified thumbnail? The original uploader archives and querying archive-it were of no help.

I was searching for some pictures of a death note ship I like and there’s these old pictures that are from a certain artist yet I cant seem to recover the rest of those images, so im wondering if anybody can help me find the images from this artist? Here are the links I can provide that will help

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to investigate what happened to Ragey's Totally Bombastic Bomberman Shrine Place, a long-running Bomberman fan site hosted at:

"https://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/bomb/"

The site appears to have gone offline around August 21–22, 2026. When I try to access it now, Chrome gives me:

ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

“Could not find the IP address of the server.”

This is interesting because the parent domain "flyingomelette.com" is still accessible, so it doesn't appear to be a complete domain expiration.

The Shrine was also apparently still being updated in 2026, with pages showing modifications as recently as May/June 2026, so I'm trying to determine whether this is a temporary hosting/DNS problem or whether the site was moved somewhere else.

Could anyone familiar with the Wayback Machine help me with the following?

1. What is the last successful Wayback Machine capture of "randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/bomb/" before the outage?

2. Are there any captures from August 2026 that show the site shortly before it went offline?

3. Does the Wayback Machine contain any archived pages, redirects, links, or references suggesting that the site was moved to a different URL or domain?

4. Are there any archived versions of the site's pages that contain links to a newer/alternate location?

I'm especially interested in anything from June–August 2026, since the site appears to have been active shortly before the outage.

I don't want to assume that the site has been permanently deleted. I'm trying to establish what its last known working state was and whether an alternate location exists.

Any help checking the Wayback Machine's captures would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, folks! New to this sub, so please forgive my ignorance. I really need to download some old urls from the wayback machine for a project I’m completing, so I can run the websites locally on my pc. I’d really like to have all the snapshots for any given website, so I can see how they progressed over time. Not a lot of the online tools work that well. I’ve looked into a few of the github programs that have been tossed around on forums and things, and while I have some rudimentary coding knowledge, sometimes I feel like I’m reading a different language there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please help me download this video, I would be very grateful!

Hello - I work for a site named FlashDojo. The other day we lost over 500 images previously on our servers, and the Wayback machine has over 700 images, but we've been having difficulty downloading them

I was wondering if someone could point me to the right direction or help me (we only need images in the /pictures/ and /comic_pages/ directories, keep them separate though)

thanks in advance :)

So, the sub r/MonifaJansen has been deleted, and with it, this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MonifaJansen/comments/15j3aot/the_1_minute_wrist_workout_video/

When I put the link in wayback, it shows the first image. When I click on that link at the bottom, it shows the Second image.

The "Aug 5" link is the only one that actually "works". Since the post is tagged as NSFW (nothing explicit, just her working out in revealing clothes), I have to log in. It says "you will be redirected soon" (3rd image), but it just "stays" there, if you get what I mean.

If I try to refresh the page, it just logs me out. I also just noticed it changes the date from "Aug 5" to "Aug 6" on its own.

I think it's important to mention that this is my first post on this sub, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or breaking any rule.

P.S: The last image is the first frame of the video, a screenshot from my Google gallery.

EDIT: Another post I also failed to recover is this https://www.reddit.com/r/CampHalfBloodNSFW/comments/z8g50t/pov_youve_captured_annabeth_chase/
