We (community for a video game) lost over a decade of accumulated community content due to an unreachable owner. This happened as I was considering scraping, but did not get a chance to implement it. Internet Archive has been a godsend - a lot of public content that was served in a text-based format is available from there. Due to a PHP misconfiguration, even a bunch of binary files were archived because they were being served with PHP errors.
