The News
IGN hit with layoffs, 1UP, UGO and GameSpy shutting down
1UP, UGO and GameSpy to be shut down
The Problems
- Once you start digging around these sites you find it to be a mess of inconsistent url schemes and content everywhere.
- Some files are being hosted on MediaFire.
- Based on tests the larger and older a site is the more that is missed by a wget crawl due to the url scheme.
What we know
- We already have a list of almost all the domains involved
- A clean list with dups and bad domains is already being process and will be posted here when complete.
- Most of the sites are not that big, but a few are huge.
The plan
- Save the sites and related content
- Backup the twitter feeds for any associated accounts. All my tweets just takes a username and returns the max tweets possible.
wget test command
