Archive.org looks a bit like astalavista these days.

I've no idea what you're trying to say.

Astalavista was the main warez search engine in the pre-google era and it was a play of words with altavista which was the most popular search engine at the time.

It wasn't a play on AltaVista -- Astalavista was actually older than AltaVista! It says so in the Wikipedia article you link to. I also only learned this mindblowing fact a few weeks ago.

Likely a reference to an old search engine (altavista), which of course sucked next to google.

Yet, it ironically gave better results than Google does today.

No, to Astalavista, which was also a search engine, but for pirated and other illegal stuff.

Now that you mention it. I had near completely forgot.

I knew that site at some point.
