Hi all,
I’m something of a free range archivist, I go around and make backups of sites I consider either high-risk, or, at very least, of cultural significance.
While it’s easy enough just to run a scrape of the site with wget, and it’d probably be easy to get a regular imageboard archiver working with this site, I always prefer working directly with the sites operators if at all possible, which, at times, can allow for easier restoration of the site at a future date, should anything fail catastrophically, along with minimising any unnecessary overutilisation of the sites resources.
If any of the administrators would be interested in working with me on this, I’d much appreciate it.
(Even if you think things are pretty much going well, sometimes it’s valuable to have someone not part of the sites main team who has a copy of the site. As an example, I asked the operators of nyaa.se about running a site backup, they assured me everything was fine, and that the guy running the site was stable and doing a fantastic job. Two weeks later, servers were wiped. Go figure.)
If you guys have frequent public backups somewhere that I couldn’t find, then I guess all is cool, but the best I can find is dumps from a previous incarnation of this site.
tl;dr: if you want the IP address of a server you can run a weekly rsync to, “Just In Case™”, I’d be happy to assist.
