Someone made a bunch of noise about the archive.is/ph/li maintainer being anonymous and how they preferred this for their personal privacy. Knowing this, the individual still felt the need to make noise when there was already was some, which resulted in repercussions. The maintainer even stated they're glad Wikipedia wants to strip archive.is/ph/li of their pages as hopefully it'll lead to Wikipedia archiving their pages themselves.

Due to the functionality needed for archiving, archival sites can be used to substantially increase the success of DDoS attacks. But what's to say they weren't hit with malware and taken over for a while? This is basically one person's word vs another and in the big picture that drama doesn't change how I see the sites function. No one's perfect and I don't expect that of anyone, but the site has worked flawlessly for me. But then again, this is just me, so please feel free to provide an alternative archive of the linked webpage for the post!
