So here is what I think Skyfire is doing--I think they are caching the www (like google does) and then updates their cache based on the number of hits that a website gets. By using cache, they can probably do some optimization on the display, up the display speed, etc. And by updating their cache based on the web site's hits, their fetch overhead is way, WAY less than a place like google.

All of this is only supposition, but I can't envision another scenario where they would display a web page that was at least a year old, not even on the server any more, and is not displayed by Opera or PIE (both of which display the correct, current page).

Wow thats a crazy find, could you pm me the site so I can look for myself?
