Kinda old news but thanks for sharing for the benefit for the members which might not have seen it.

So how does it do it and where does it get the pages from because even the links work

I take it that you've never used "wget" before then?

Basically, it works like a spidering program which downloads a page, follows links from that page and also alters the links in real time before it saves it to the hard disk.

Saving a web page (complete) in a web browser also works in the same way.

So...it's like the internet of the internet then?

I found the first ever page to the sims and it looked weird.

Have you seen our first entry from 2001?
It was owned by a guy called "Pete" back then.

After that it was replaced by a picture of Tux, the Linux penguin. :p
