I'm assuming you're talking about posts like these:

When you visit sites that are on Archive.org, you get the cached script(just the script, not the results), BUT, the javascript results are pulling from the current database that the script designates.
This is why the banner still rotates in the 'archive'
If he had that javascript on there in 2002, you would get the 2005 data using Archive.org
Now, if you don't understand how this works, you might think about getting off his sack until you do.
Besides a few off color remarks and the usual idiot comments Sleazy is a decent guy imo, and I believe what he has to say on this subject.

What quickdraw failed to notice was that the .js file which your site links to was archived way back then, and thus the adverts being served on the archived page
are the adverts that were being served at that time. The proof that this is the case is the fact that there are sites in the banner rotation on the archived page that do not appear in the current banner rotation.
Just compare these two files:
Current:
http://sleazydream.com/horizontal.js
Old:
http://web.archive.org/web/200406230.../horizontal.js
For example, you can see that there is a fatpaychecks website being advertised in the old rotation, and no fatpaychecks site currently being promoted. That is proof that what is showing up in the archives was indeed in the current banner rotation of the time the page was archived.
Just figured i'd clear that up.
