Exactly! And its not just we pages - a lot of digital heritage is being lost, even though we now have the technology to digitally preserve about anything. Flash games that one can't play without a flash player, online games that can no longer be played without company run servers, modern arcade machines that will no longer run without a backend server, etc. I would really welcome if more people though about how to preserve out current digital culture for the long run...

> Flash games Just in case you hadn't come across Flashpoint: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ Since early 2018, Flashpoint has saved more than 100,000 games and 10,000 animations running on 35 different platforms.

> online games that can no longer be played without company run servers I saw someone in another thread recently mention that it should be a law that if you shut down your online game, you have to release the source code for the server and client. I don't entirely disagree with this notion. If you sell people a product and then decide to stop supporting it, why would it hurt you to let your customers support it.
