What a lot of people think of as "Jason Scott" is the result of hundreds of people working at/with the Internet Archive, hundreds more volunteering effort and resources at Archive Team, and dozens of great contributors to the stacks/collections of TEXTFILES.COM.
I am a very pretty and flamboyant figure standing at the front of a literal army of real contributors to taking online history seriously and making it both available and accessible to future generations.
- badsectoracula 7y agoThanks for your work, i only have the ability to donate to a very few projects, but the Internet Archive is always one of them. Computers would be a lot more boring to me without it.
- jonah-archive 7y agoThank you for your donations! We do our absolute best to put them to the most effective use we can.
- whyleyc 7y agoThanks for the work that you all do. We've updated the blog post with links to https://archive.org/donate https://archive.org/donate to encourage readers to get behind all of the good stuff that goes on at the Internet Archive.
- RodgerTheGreat 7y agoYou and your team are heroes. We can never know, in the present day, how valuable some artifact might become in the future. We need more people defending the long view of our civilization.
- joshspankit 7y agoHuge respect for your work, and that of the entire team end to end. The internet archive is deeply important. What do you think of the proposition that people should put important content on the archive on day one?
