Except for things I posted on MySpace and my personal website on Earthlink. There's no trace of those anywhere. At least some of my postings on CompuServe survive as quotes in more recent posts by others. And my posts on Usenet newsgroups were archived.
MySpace, and a number of companies hosting private webpages, just deleted everything wholesale with little warning. And this was before Archive and the datahoarding reddit. I think a lot of Geocities was archived by private individuals and is available on Oocities.
Also, if Archive has something of yours archived, you can request to have it permanently deleted.
Chrissy Teigan deleted everythin! We all know why!
There are ghosts that keep records of every single character entered online. Deleting is funny.
The internet is forever!
