In fact, it started scanning chapters at 100,000 which means that's about as many as I'm going to miss, forever (this isn't 100% confirmed yet, since I've never inspected the array that I'm grabbing from wayback to build my list of downloadable objects). Wayback simply doesn't have the chapters saved before that. Also, searching the web archive manually is a bit tedious when it comes to cyoc since some chapters will have options added over time, yet wayback never updated that chapter. So you lose all of the hyperlinks to new chapters that were posted. Even though those chapters exist in waybacks database, you can't navigate to them easily.

Pluses, you CAN manually navigate the cyoc site through web archive. But it's going to be tedious like I said and you're not going to be able to get to everything. If your patient enough you can probably find alot of what your searching for you can get to the cyoc interactive for 2025 here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250328...tory_index.php
There was one thread of chapters I managed to copy and save to a doc, mainly because it's one of few I contributed to. I'd have to double-check the archive for the authors' names, because I noticed they would sometimes not load in.
