LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
-
Will the site be archived and able to view in its final form? It will it be "the true death"?
True death... to run the site read-only will have ongoing costs, but I cannot expect this to come with future donations.
I'm open to someone crawling the public visible site in it's totality and making a workable archive that looks like this.
You should know that the Archive Team https://wiki.archiveteam.org/ are already crawling us, and we are on their Deathwatch https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Deathwatch#2025 and that I've said I will add them to the allow list and ensure they can fully archive us. I don't know today how that will be accessed.
I am fine saying to the people on here that if you want to run a recursive wget, feel free to do so.
You should archive everything that hits https://www.lfgss.com and all files / attachments that come from https://lfgss.microcosm.app/ . The final archive will be somewhere between 1-2TB.
Actually, scratch this... I'll do it and will make a torrent available.
