• 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.

  • I don't have an immediate idea to the running costs issue. But do you need to lift authentication to disable new posts, comments and DMs? If it becomes a platform you need to login to read, but no writing is possible either way, then no user communication is possible. Would that keep you out of the firing line temporarily?

    I was more erring towards making sure there's a hard copy of the database somewhere which could be revived if a solution came about though. Cryosleep. You can't talk to a cryosleep person.
