Is there a problem with posting links to archive dot org on this forum? I ve tried to check on it s legitimacy, and it does have a history of skirting the edge in some respects. Is it considered a taboo website or what? ---

**Internet Archive** is a well-respected website. It is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit that categorizes and archives the web (websites via Wayback Machine, public domain images, audio, video, and much more). Their detailed _ABOUT_ section can be found [**here**](https://archive.org/about/). There is a goldmine of things on **Internet Archive**. I’ve never had issues linking to them on this forum. ---

I suppose it depends on what you are linking to specifically. In most cases, it should be fine. ---

Not just software and games, lots of videos and images also hosted as well as old sites as they where, a great resource and if could afford would donate to it.
