It appears that Feb 2004 was the last time the records were updated. Anyone knows what happened?

Never noticed that ... I too wonder why they've seemingly stopped.

However, for some select domains, they continued archiving up to July-17-2004 ... ie. cnn.com, slashdot.org, and amazon.com to name a few.

It's strange they'd stop, but then perhaps their funding ran out and/or the task became too large and they've chosen to go with a much longer interval between visits, like a year?

The Wayback Machine, which currently contains over 100 terabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 12 terabytes per month, is the largest known database in the world, containing multiple copies of the entire publicly available web. This eclipses the amount of data contained in the world's largest libraries, including the Library of Congress

Quite a project to keep going!

Haven't they always been showing information that is older than 8 to 12 months? I can never actually remember them showing information for the last few months at any one time.
