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.
What I love is that all the Republican presidential contenders put occupy wall street down up to now, and now that it has grown "too big to fail" they have done a 180 degree turn and sort of support it. ASSWIPES!!!
I don't know who any of those people are since I don't watch Fox News. But the fat guy named Bob made some sense; he was putting down the teabaggers who kept disrupting town hall meetings two years ago.
Everyone else on that show can go fork themselves.
Tom---I don't watch that abortion of a news organization either. I got this off Crooks and Liars. The guy Bob is apparently the token Democrat on the "panel". The dark hair cheerleader ass wipe on the left made my blood boil hot. A twit in the classic sense. There strictly for eye candy. God I hate these fuckers.
I would like to thank all the commenters for posting, so that I didn't have to risk polluting my psyche by watching the video. Your sacrifice will not go unrewarded....
YD G---Not to mention that peckerwood thing. As my granddaddy used to say, they all talk like they have paper assholes. I never knew what he meant by that...until now.
