Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Good Heavens, a reverse snowback.
Down portcullis!

Just watching Rachel Maddow review the Rep. theory that the new health bill will force old people to kill themselves. It would be funny if it wasn't so scary. How can people be such bozos?
I'm about ready to head that way now, last one to Vancouver buys the beer. Not joking.
Beach if they fuck with Medicare, I'm joining you. We should start a bloggers commune. Darkblack, any suggestions for a place to live that isn't too pricy or too cold for us delicate southerners?
Pyzahn, I saw that too, and nearly choked on the profanity coming out my mouth involuntarily. How fucking dumb are we that we swallow such utter crap?
I have seriously considered this very thing. Even though I am in Nebraska, the cold there is brutal, and I don't really want to endure that given my arthritic condition. Buuuuuut...those mutherfuckers in D.C. are sure pissing me off.
Everybody likes Vancouver, except that it's full of Vancouverites. Don't get me started on them.
If you can handle the Beehive State in the winter, you can handle southern Alberta or the B.C. interior.

Thank you darling. Which would you recommend. My house is hemorrhaging worth, but it's probably still around $300,000. Could I get a little house, with a little yard for me and my little dog? Could I keep my social security? Are Canadians lovers of the eccentrics? Liberal? Kind to strangers?
Oh why am I asking these questions? I live in Utah for fuck sake!
Yeah, Utah! Why change? The US has the 37th best health care system in the world. I'm down with that!
Vig, you look like you're having way too much fun. Man, can't you tone it down a bit for those of us who don't live in Santa Barbara?
I'm thinking British Columbia, too. Somewhere in the Fraser River valley close to the Washington border would be nice. Very green, with winters that might be a little gray from the constant rain but not particularly brutal. Mildew would be a bigger problem than cold.
Point by point, Utah:
1) Yes.
2) Yes, if you don't drop your U.S. citizenship.
3) Just don't scare the horses.
4) Oh, you said the L word.
5) Oddly enough, they are.

Whee! All my American friends are coming to Canada! ;)
Nan, I'm allergic to mold. Other than that, B C sounds great.
Sunshine, can you recommend a place? One of you two Canadians should tell us about your neck of the woods. Do Canadians tolerate pot smoking. Is it illegal?
'Is it illegal?'
It's against the law not to in B.C. - why nothing ever gets done there, I suppose.

We could get all of our laptops in a circle with a biscuit in the middle...
Naw, that's the editorial board at Huffington Post, my bad.
