Another fucking forum, another fucking bullshit we are going to make you pay but we don't really want to honest.
Xanga is a blogging community which is [going to be relaunched] as a paid service. The users will be able to download archives of their current blogs until July the 15th, after which the site will either shut down due to fundraising failure, or get relaunched as a Wordpress-powered version (existing blogs apparently will be (?) preserved on this new platform, though it's very unclear.)
Prior work
Previously a minor grab was done to test the feasibility of grabbing Xanga. This can be seen on the Internet Archive.
What now?
The project for the warriors has been resurrected.
The list of usernames that is present on IA has been loaded and is currently being crunched while we try to collect as many usernames as possible.
Current upload location is only IA
How can I help?
1. Run the task in the warrior
2. Help collect usernames:
mkdir xanga-users cd xanga-users wget https://raw.github.com/djsmiley2k/smileys-random-tools/master/get_xanga_users chmod +x get_xanga_users ./get_xanga_users START END
Allow the script to run, it'll continue to grab files.
When your ready, run the grep command found in the script to get the usernames and then place into pastebin and let an admin know to add them to the tracker
grep "created by" -r ./* | awk -F "<" '{print $3}' | awk -F\/ '{print $3}' | awk -F. '{ print $1}' | sort -u > usernamelist
