I don’t know how recent it has to be, but maybe even less than a year to be found. For example, during the lockdown there was a new kerfuffle with _The Babylon Bee_. I searched for my Pit thread on the topic, but no results. [It shows up on Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=Babylon+bee+site%3Aboards.straightdope.com&oq=Babylon+bee+site%3Aboards.straightdope.com&gs_l=mobile-heirloom-hp.3...1298.20056.0.20730.41.39.0.2.2.0.435.8130.7j13j12j6j1.39.0....0...1c.1.34.mobile-heirloom-hp..28.13.2714._M9U5X9zzBY), but of course (as mentioned in another thread) hotlinks to older pages are broken.
