Ah, the guessing game. This is a problem we'll run into often, especially since there are no live site archives for NaNoWriMo 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011. There are no live site archives for Script Frenzy, Camp NaNo, Young Writers Program, or Script Frenzy's YWP. The [http://www.archive.org Wayback Machine] works for all years of NaNoWriMo (except 2000), Script Frenzy, YWP, and Script Frenzy YWP, but a full archive (as in one taken on the day before the March relaunch (Script Frenzy and its YWP) or October relaunch (NaNo and its YWP)) may not be available, and it is possible that some individual webpages and/or images won't show up. | Ah, the guessing game.

Also, archives from either YWP site do not contain the forums due to their forums being hidden from guests. Archives of Camp NaNo do exist, but are useless because everything except the login/join page is closed off to guests (creating accounts or logging into them within archives is typically impossible). Just do the best you can and note it as a guess, and if someone can find a fact, they'll correct it. Feel free to look through blog posts, breaking news posts, and Script Frenzy's "beat" posts, as well as any stickies scattered throughout the forums. Some may have facts embedded in them, anything from previous year's stats to notes on a NaNoWriMo term. | ||
Note: The blog linked to on the NaNo site only goes back to some point in 2010 in its archives. If you want to go to earlier posts, you need to go a separate blog : [http://www.blog.nanowrimo.org/ old blog] | Note: The blog linked to on the NaNo site only goes back to some point in 2010 in its archives.
