I've alerted r/DataHoarder to the situation :) I expect some interested person will create an archive on their personal server like I plan to.

I'm now httrack'ing the site. If anybody reads this after April 15, I'm probably not going to be around to read your comments, but you can hit me up on Matrix if you need a copy: @lorendb:nheko.im

If you're reading this before April 15 and need a copy, get it yourself.

Email [email protected] for a free account to store an offsite/backup copy of this.

I will help manage setting up snapshots of it that we can checksum/verify to create a "golden copy".

Or whatever - just let us know if we can be of assistance.

Thank you! I will send you an email. I've got a personal server, and I would publicly serve the backup from it, but it's got an awful connection for serving files (only 20ish Mbps up), so that would be awesome :)

It'd be great to also upload a tar.gz or something to the internet archive as well.

I tried, but the upload failed because it "looks like spam" according to Archive.

I am sympathetic to the finiteness of disk space and amount of actual spam they must ingest.

mmmm, weird. You may want to reach out to Jason Scott for help. He's textfiles here on HN.

Please please please only hammer the site if you intend to create a public mirror. While I appreciate the DataHoarder mentality (I am one as well), when sites announce they are going offline don't send hundreds of rabid nerds when that bandwidth is better spent on making sure public archivists can get everything.
