webpages and posts are temporary

What will happen when websites go under?
When will this happen? nobody knows. They like all things are impermanent.

content such as webpages, blogs, posts, forums, photos, pictures, videos etc... exist on the web and may be affected at one time or another.

This has already happened with many sites such as Geocities. Geocities was once a host for webpages primarily created by the average internet user/surfer. It has stopped operating due to a corporate reason.
Angelfire is very much alive, but recently it has wiped out my email address from their program and the software refuses to let me log in. Ironically though, my webpage is still being hosted at Angelfire. It just can't be altered by me.

Many sites and many services, even large companies may have the possibility of shutting down (involuntarily).

The moral of the story: Hope for the Best but do not be surprised if your site/content disappears.
In summary: (Your) web content may not be as permanent as we all think.
