    unrelated: if a website gets hit with "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine", do existing snapshots get purged or may they still be preserved somewhere?

      They get marked as inaccessible, but still exist in IA data

        is it possible to access somehow? it seems the site got excluded because of robots.txt set by some domain squatter, not manually.
