When you die, your domain names expire soon or later, and your blog and personal sites disappears too. But do you want your blog to live after you passed ? and until when ? one century ? two ?
- adrianN 11y agoThey live on in the Internet Archive. As long as people care about the Internet Archive, hopefully forever.
- Negitivefrags 11y agoUnless whoever gets the domain name after you doesn't want to be on the archive. Then all the history will be deleted.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoIndeed. And that totally sucks. Something needs to be done so that Internet Archive doesn't have to retroactively apply robots.txt or deletion requests (sans criminally illegal content).
- pferde 11y agoIf you care for something to be preserved, you preserve it and do not rely on someone else to do it for you, forever.
- akx 11y agoWhat if all the authors of culturally/historically significant works throughout history had thought like that?
- coldtea 11y ago>What if all the authors of culturally/historically significant works throughout history had thought like that? Nothing much would have change, since it wasnt up to them whether their works surviced, it was up to their "fans". In fact, if they had thought like that it would have helped, since they would have assisted this process (trying themselves to get their works preserved). Besides, 99% of the internet is not culturally or historically significant except in the broadest sense (in which everything is, as an artifact of its era, etc..).
- fit2rule 11y agoYeah, the Internet Archive hasn't exactly been a stable repository for old stuff, really. Even without death, sites die: this is as true for archive.org as any other site on the web.
