@beachthunder: The 'save page now' feature is relatively new compared to the Wayback Machine (Oct 2013 vs early 1996), and the vast majority of its records were crawled by machines. But the crawls aren't always complete - maybe I'm lucky, but I quickly found a releases page that had never been archived, despite the game in question getting several archives since its creation - and they used to take months to become available. It's faster now. Anyway, not disagreeing, the manual save option is very useful. And at least personally I write my stuff offline and paste it in when done, so at least I'll always be able to read it.
Pedantic edit update: Turns out I was mistaken; I forgot all the URLs got changed a while back and a copy on the previous design got saved. So technically there is a release page available, just not one that would get found for the current address.
