Archive?

I don't know if this has been asked before, I had a quick look and I couldn't see any similar questions. I was wondering if there was an archive of this site where I would be able to find a post from about a year ago. The user left and it looks like they deleted all their posts, which is unfortunate as I really enjoyed their stories. I realise they probably had a very good reason to leave and/or didn't want people reading their posts, but I was wondering if there was a slight chance I could find some of them. I only want to read them haha.

I tried the "wayback" machine on the internet archive, but they hadn't archived the specific page the story was on, I was so close!

Thank you for your help

Not that I know of, for privacy reasons once a user deletes their post it's gone forever.

Have you tried the "Archive" sections of this site?
Who was the writer and what was the story called Someone might be able to help.

His name was SteveLuis, I'll have a look at the archive sections, but the story was actually being commented on in the pg17 section, and the comments are still there, it's just that his original post isn't. The story I was looking for was called sexy burglar I think.

Thanks for your help :)

Do you know if I'd be able to find the Sexy Burglar story? I had a look at the site and wasn't quite sure what it was, but thank you so much for the link!

Try http://archive.org/web/ maybe you can find it there in an older copy of this site.

And it works. If you know where the story was, then you will find your story. I just found some older stories, which were missing after an update on this site.
