Appraisal

Robots.txt (a piece of code designed to limit crawler activity within a website) was ignored. Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://marcribot.com/, https://vimeo.com/marcribot and https://soundcloud.com/marcribot in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

Some external sites were included due to their contextual value to the site that is the focus of this crawl. These sites are https://vimeo.com/marcribot and https://soundcloud.com/marcribot.

Embedded video and Soundcloud audio files on the site were captured, but do not render in the archived copy. Future changes to the Wayback Machine may allow the files to be played.
