Introduction
The owner of Parodius has made the decision to stop providing free hosting services for nonprofit web sites about classic video gaming.
However, the owner said in this forum post:
- Each and every hosted person here has a right to define whether or not they want their content archived. Some may have robots.txt in place, others may not but might have other conditionals (some technical, some via footers/agreements on their page). Their data is their data; I am not the owner of their data. I cannot decide for them if they are comfortable with that.
- If you feel comfortable with someone archiving your data like this, who is a third-party, I would recommend you contact them and offer/work out something. I'm fine with them archiving the home page, our FAQ, etc. -- sure, that's all public anyway. But our home page/etc. != users' content. Most of the site owners will be moving their stuff to other URLs, which means all the content/etc. will be available on the Internet just at a new URL.
- Bandwidth = not free. The last thing I need is to find my 95th percentile at 20mbit because someone thinks bandwidth grows on trees.
So if AT wants to help, these ground rules are in place:
- AT should get in touch with each site's owner.
- The archiving shouldn't proceed too fast.
- Organize efforts so as not to duplicate.
- Tepples is archiving nesdev.parodius.com, which consists of a static HTML site, a wwwThreads, and a phpBB 2
- Tepples is also archiving wiki.nesdev.com, a MediaWiki site associated with nesdev.parodius.com
- The owner of foxhack.com does not want AT's help
