What's up with samdean archive?

[alexxkah.livejournal.com]

Hi guys, I've been having a bit of a problem lately. I cannot load any page from the samdean archive. I've already tried to use different phones, computer - yet nothing works. Is any of you having the same problem? Is there a way to solve it? (or is it - hopefully - just temporary?)
I know there has been similar entry two or so weeks ago but they apparently managed to solve it but it haven't worked for me.
I don't want to spread panic or anything, I just want to know whether the problem is on my side or something else :( I may be going a little bit crazy...

Hi there, can I ask you a question regarding Wayback Machine?

I'm trying to look up a story there: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5770849/Sam_Sammy_Samantha
and I'm getting this message "Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt." What does this mean?

Sure! Sadly, that message means means the page couldn't be crawled by the Machine because of the site's settings. "Robots.txt" is the file the site uses to tell web crawlers not to crawl and cache the content.

Ah, darn! I was hoping there would be better news. This is just another great story that got deleted then. :(

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it! :)

Hey, I don't really want to get your hopes up too much but sometimes the wayback machine sites started working for me even despite the robots.txt - I'm not sure what I've done for it (deleting cookies? Nothing specificaly?) or it worked on my laptop when phone couldn't display it.

Thanks for your reply. I kept getting that message and didn't know if there was a way around it or not. I'll check it out further. :)
