I've been working on a project on 90s gaming (mostly centered around the FPS genre). It is incredibly frustrating that so many of the sites from then are gone. I will find a reference to an interview or something and even archive.org doesn't have it. Or the surprising number of RealAudio proto-podcasts that archive.org doesn't have archived.
Those would be incredibly useful to have. (I even went so far as to find the owner of one of the defunct sites and tweeted him about the files. He said they were in a storage unit somewhere and he would get around to reuploading them "eventually.")
- ChickeNES 9y agoI'm working on-and-off on something not totally unrelated and the number of times that a site has been archived, disappeared, but then replaced by a domain parked page with robots.txt restrictions is infuriating. The data is there, but with no way to access it. I understand obeying robots.txt when crawling, but applying it to existing content is just idiotic.
