Archive Team recruiting

Warrior-based projects

ArchiveTeam's Choice: Telegram
  • Webs: Vistaprint is killing off the Freewebs you knew from the 2000s on March 31, 2021, unless you pay up. IRC Channel #webbed (on hackint).
  • Niconico metadata: Erasing comments linked to deleted videos sometime this spring. IRC Channel #niconino (on hackint).
