Still running Apache 2.0.x as well; looks like it could just be a server going down/offline due to bitrot? There were a lot of great discussions in that wiki, hope it comes back up (though it's in the wayback machine, at least).

  > We're going to see this more and more over the next decade. The same thing is happening with torrenting because of the advent of streaming services. I'm not criticizing, because I think it is clearly better that artists are paid for their content. My observation is simply that people don't download if they can stream, but eventually streaming services discontinue content. And when they do, the ability to acquire that content is much reduced.

      Even if you want to use services like that, KG isn't by far the easiest to use, nor does it have the biggest library.

      My point isn't to question how to acquire them now, my question is to what effect it might have in 10 years. Or 20?

> (though it's in the wayback machine, at least). Yeah, better not rely on this in future. Their practice of making pages inaccessible in the archive if a future domain owner blocks the archive from crawling it means just about any content there becomes useless the minute a domain squatter takes the domain.

  That's interesting, I did not know that. I'd just expected they would represent the history of the content over time with blank periods when it could not be crawled.
