Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me find this thread on the wayback machine since the link i have is apparently not working.

Extrapolating from this 691330 is the thread itself. I've tried various syntaxes but non can find anything on the wayback machine.

What thread are you looking for? A title, OP, particular forum, subject, and date (range) would make it easier for people to help.

If you redo your search using the rightmost part of your url, you should find yourself on the page where it lets you pick whqt date you want to see from the many that has been trawled. I would do that but doing so from the phone is very annoying. But basically take apart your url, copy only from https://wizard.com onward, and paste that in a new search on the wayback machine, see if the trawled done on other days are usable

Melayl I'm looking for the original pun thread which, if i got the right thread number and i should, is where monty by pls4mne was originally created.

Ciopo I've tried that and also tried some different syntaxes like: forum.gleemax.com/wotc_archive
Boards1.wizard.com
and some more.
Knowing myself i may have very well mistyped one of them which would've worked but i tried all of the formats i know into the archive and nothing came up

Sorry i wasn't clear enough. I'm not looking for the original Pun-Pun thread, I'm looking for the original Pun thread, just Pun xD.
The thread was the first iteration of pls4mne Monty's build.
On a side note, this is the technically original Pun-Pun thread:

Have you checked this thread?

I haven't had time to look through it (just got off a 12 hour shift), but it is a compilation of many old Gleemax/WoTC boards threads.

I know of that thread and it's not there.
I manage to get a hold of an old forum archive copy someone made a long time ago.
It's not everything but maybe i can find it there, just need to work a bit on making it usable.
