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.

YEAH! THAT DIALOG KILLS ME!!! HAHAHAHAHHA
Straight to the point, I like it!
That jaw kills me, he'd make a great ventriloquist doll.
I second what Kali said! The pictures make the argument very well!

I like the diversity in tooth styles.
Great Ramjet posts. Been meaning to make some kinda pointless pat-on-the-back-gee-thanks-John kinda comment.
But yeah, Ramjet's all sorts of great, isn't it? Some of the show's stuff can be so damn funny, they make it look so easy, rushed, but some of the gags and jokes, the way they cut it together - there's a some kinda genius/talent behind all this. Really.
Anyone see the High Noon-type episode? With Ramjet's irritated horse angrily telling him to get off?
AH! Ramjet in a beauty pagent! Another good one. With wacky bird as voice over narrator. Changing costumes constantly.
btw,what are your thoughts on Arthur Davis cartoons?
I like them
I would like to see - a quick sketch of how you would draw Ramjet. And/or it's characters. That would be very interesting to see how you interperate their artwork.
I would like to see sometime - your version of Rodger Ramjet. Maybe a quick sketch, putting your own spin on it. It would be very interesting to see how your work compares to the original. Just a thought.
Writers aren't all bad. What drives Roger Ramjet (to me) is not really the quality of the art or animation - it is the writing and pacing of the show. It all comes back to the writing dept. Some friends of mine write for EE&E;, and they don't suck.
I love this kind of stuff.
I love fun stuff being funny.
I also like stupid stuff being dramatic.
Why, oh why, can't funny people be allowed to make a living doing funny stuff anymore?
I'm curious to know what you think of this:
