What an abrupt end. And their robots.txt[1] never allowed the Internet Archive to crawl them, so nothing will be archived. [1]: http://ffffound.com/robots.txt

- jszymborski 9y agoArchiveTeam, however, is not as scrupulous :)

- toomuchtodo 9y agoAlmost done. robots.txt is so pedestrian.
- eriknstr 9y agoWiki page doesn't contain much info. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Ffffound%21 http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Ffffound%21
- toomuchtodo 9y agoI'm flying solo. Wish I could say I get tired of these site closures, but its sort of fun archiving them up. I'm in ur content, savin some culture.
- 9935c101ab17a66 9y agoHow can I contribute?
- Eric_WVGG 9y agoI have a backup utility rolling at http://ddddownload.club http://ddddownload.club . It's not perfect, but I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time left for troubleshooting.
- mtgentry 9y agoSweet, thanks for making this!
- ballenf 9y agoFound http://lookwork.com/ http://lookwork.com/ through links on your site. It looks similar to ffffound at a glance, but I'd never heard of either before now. Would you recommend it?
- Eric_WVGG 9y agoLookwork is a very different beast… it is an RSS reader without the pictures. It does, like FFFFOUND, have image bookmarking functions, although at some point down the line we'd like to move that to Pinterest or maybe just Dropbox. But regardless, I personally think it is fantastic for discovery, please give it a try.
- marmshallow 9y agoAs someone new to ffffound, I don't already have an account with favorites. Are there any complete backups of the images somewhere?
- vermooten 9y agoI'll be using HTTrack a day or 2 before to get the whole lot.
- luch 9y agoAs a side-note, Internet Archive is starting to ignore robots.txt rules for this exact reason : https://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-search-engines-dont-work-well-for-web-archives/ https://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-sea...
- GBKS 9y agoI also set up a tool to export your Ffffound account to http://www.wookmark.com http://www.wookmark.com . Note that a paid account ($20/year) is required, so I can keep the lights on. If you want to do this, create a Wookmark account and message me the usernames from both sites. While I'm writing this, my import scripts are working through a Ffffound account with 6000 images. It's a fairly straightforward process. Happy Thursday.
