Case 02 — Preservation
Paste the URL below — now, while the page is still up. SnapMySite captures the entire page with a real browser and emails you a timestamped copy within about thirty seconds. After that, no edit, takedown, or "content no longer available" can touch your copy.
Listings get edited after you book. Posts get deleted after they're challenged. Sellers "update" descriptions after a sale goes wrong. Studies of link rot have found that most webpages don't survive a decade — and the ones that matter in a disagreement tend to vanish much faster, usually right after the disagreement starts.
Once a page is gone, your options are bad: the Wayback Machine may never have crawled it, cached copies expire within days, and a screenshot on your own phone is easy for the other side to dismiss — you could have taken it any time, or made it yourself.
The rule of thumb from every dispute forum is the same: the time to preserve a page is the moment you first think "I might need this." Captures cost a fraction of a dollar. The page being gone costs the argument.
