Well, Iβve tried to use wget and httrack to archive as much of the forum as I could, but I still wasnβt able to get everything. Good a good chunk of threads, though! Where should I upload them?

@cobra
Being that I've never uploaded a forum ever or really know how to keep a forum's structure intact, I have an experimental suggestion. What do you about having some sort of Yesterweb legacy site where files can be stored an accessed "forever" (i.e. as far as the internet is concerned) that's maintained by folks here? Because like you, after I'm done compiling the pdf version of the forum while I did say I could pm people with it, it'd be nice to host it somewhere as a resource (and at this point it's about to be put into pdf "ebook" format with chapters so it's properly organized.) Let me know.
and if anyone wants to join in being a "maintainer" of the site, respond to this post!
and I might just go ahead and do a demo version of this idea because I'm just for it LOL, andddd it'd be good to make backups.

So uh, I did a thing: sites.google.com/view/yw-legacies/homeThis is YesterWeb Legacies, a site to host YesterWeb related materials to be archived and preservation and anything else TBD. It's being hosted with Google Sites which means if anyone wants to be a maintainer/editor all I have to do is add you in via email. Since Google Sites is connected to Google Drive, uploading stuff "should" be a breeze and it has embed options! Sooo it's a start ^_^

Hannah Yes, I had noticed too! It was probably just forgotten.

Sad to see that place go, but clearly the community/original ideology lives on. Do you have a preview of the compilation so far? I'd love to help but no idea what you guys need at this point. In any case, thanks for putting in the effort!

In any case, thanks for putting in the effort! At the moment I have been a bit busy with work and life. I am aiming to complete the full pdf compilation on a weekend. In terms of help, right now there isn't much to do but if something arises I'll certainly let you know and Welcome!

Hannah Yes, I had noticed too! It was probably just forgotten. Maybe they actually couldnβt bring themselves to do it? Itβs a lot of history considering how long it was available, and then seeing how many were saddened by the news?
