- toomuchtodo 14y agoMy Archive Warrior is still trying to get through all of posterous.com! Internet Properties: Don't be a dick. If you're closing up shop, bundle the site up (public portion, not personal info), and ship it off to the Internet Archive.
- obviouslygreen 14y agoI don't disagree with your suggestion, but when you're closing up shop, there's often a heck of a lot more pressing issues on your plate than wondering whether someone will be able to view your long-dead site after you've laid it to rest. Being a dick is a possible reason for not doing this, but there's a lot of others that don't require or imply malice.
- jmathai 14y agoThat's still being a dick though.
- bjxrn 14y agoI just want to point out that anyone can help the Archive Team by running an "Archive Team Warrior". It's a virtual machine which scrapes things that need to be archived. Currently Posterous, Formspring, various URL shorteners and of course upcoming.org (in testing). It's really easy to set up and I would encourage anyone remotely interested to give it a try.

- jmathai 14y agoI ran one for Yahoo! Messages the other week and it was super simple. Really great work on these.
