A MAGICAL STORY ABOUT SAVING ALL THE HOT ONES
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.
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.
There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

Ha! I love how he throws out the ugly ones!
He throws out the ones with good personalities that like to tell you about inner-office drama and the ongoing adventures of her cats.
It's cute and funny to have a bottle of human women, but the whole "discarding the ugly ones" is unnecessarily going to make a lot of little girls feel like crap. Cartoons should make people happy, right?
Johnk: You draw so beautifully. -- Mykal
Hi Mykal
that's a Jim Smith drawing! and yes he does
Kristina: Hmm...maybe you're right.
The gag might need a topper.
How's this?...Half Life agrees with you and tells He Hog that's shallow of him. He Hog is ashamed and says, "You're right, Half Life. Go ahead, take them out."
Half Life goes into the waste basket and is shocked to find that the girls are drawn in a terrible 70s Saturday morning cartoon style. They have tiny little flesh colored eyes. Half Life is traumatized and He Hog has to give him mouth to electron to resuscitate him.
Or... The girls escape and get revenge o He Hog by becoming super villainesses - The League of Flesh Color or something? We could show them disguising themselves by painting their eyes with "Eyestick" every morning. When they have eye-whites they are kind and normal. But once they paint them, they turn evil?
Trevor: You chauvinist!
To all fellows concerned:
Cut the ladies a break! I don't see you winning any beauty contests any time soon.
i like giants
I hate to Uncle Tom out on my own sex, but I'd guess that He Hog is sort of a Spike TV/ Adult Swim type audience-oriented show, so I think the gag is fine. In fact, I sort of imagined hearing tiny horrifying screams coming from He-Hog's waste basket whilst He-Hog makes some sort of coy expression.
PIG!
Hwa hwa, get it??????????
Ooops - my apologies to Mr. Smith! It's Beautious! -- Mykal
"begoggled snout" that is hilarious!
