E30tech is back

[shiboujin]

I'm researching internet legalities right now. But if the waybackmachine can archive tech, why can't I? I'm literally going to register and put up www.e30techarchive.com

I'm at like 4 or so gigs of data. It's hilarious. But it seems simpler to just rehost than put it into a dropbox.

I've scraped the first few pages of every subforum on the site. Not sure if I'll get sued but I plan to rehost on an archive site.

Host the files on a Dropbox for everyone to access and download.

Shit, I have a pro Dropbox account. You can send them all to me if you want and I'll host it.

Well it looks like I will be spending my 1 week on summer vacation by saving every thread I can.

If you are using Mac and Safari you can simply hit Print on any webpage, then in the bottom left of the dialog box that pops up where is says PDF you can click that and hit SAVE AS PDF. I've saved about 20-25 threads from there already today and it only take a minute for each thread.

Exactly this ^^^. If you're on Windows, Google Chrome browser performs the same actions. Just print and choose save to PDF.

Nevermind. Copying and pasting important threads into a Word document seems to be working for me.

So how do we preserve it before it goes offline again?
