What are the chances of keeping a static backup?

I think I'd actually be in compliance with the law if no-one could comment.

So one option is to break the authentication, expire all current authentication... and then the whole site is read-only.

But this costs £400 per month at the lower end to operate... so I could only do that for a short while.

Also note: a static dump... of what exactly? You're also lifting authentication controls from a lot of content that was never intended to be public. We would need to also exclude a hell of a lot.

Basically anything that doesn't requite authentication. You could try pointing wget at the homepage now and crawling it, then pushing the outcome into github or similar.

Edit: I might actually do that at some point
