The ATS archive

Darn her thread was full of knowledge to the EXTREME. RIP SLED735!

If you can give the thread's title I can look for it.
It was started by SLED735?

Although not really directly related to this forum (at least as things are), I decided to create this thread in this section.

In this thread I am going to talk about my ATS archive, the copy I made of the posts, threads and forums from ATS before it became inaccessible.

I know other people also made their own copies, and their opinions, comments, etc. are welcome.
After all, my idea was to preserve all the information ATS members created during all those years.

At the end of last year I was able to create a site to show the information with a look similar to ATS when viewed by a someone not logged in, but because of threats of legal action because of (possible) copyright problems made me take the site offline and make it private, as I'm not interested in having problems with something I thought was good for everyone.

So, at the moment, this is what I have:
- 14 public boards, including one for forums that got "orphaned" for some reason;
- 121 forums, including the "orphaned" forums mentioned above;
- 780.643 threads;
- 22.902.993 posts.

A couple of weeks ago I remembered that I didn't have any posts from the huge "Japan declares 'nuclear emergency' after quake" thread, as some kind of problem made it disappear from view.
Using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine I was able to recreate the first 304 pages, but that thread had more than 1400, so it's still a work in progress.

You are worthy of respect my man. And also kudos.

If I were the God of Kudos
I would rain them down upon you constantly. Even in your house in bed
fast asleep. Your mornings, you'd find little sprinkely kudos all over your quarters
that disappear once you see them so you don't have to clean them up because

If I were the God of Kudos

I'd try not to be to annoying.:)
