Hello pards,

When I correctly foretold that Barbara Sher would shutter her forums pages, I began to archive whole threads to archive today (also archive.is, and archive.pn) This was after I'd been booted off due to a price issue at Harvard's perma.cc service. I think I still have a few things left there.

So, now archive today seems a goner! I had 570 pages archived there!

So, my latest strategy will be to see if I can save a pdf of the page. Most times the links save as live and working. There's an extension for browsers which created links and archives a page to the Wayback Machine. Just read the consent agreement about the Internet Archive's injunction on distributing ebooks. Makes me nervous that some big corp won't sue them for saving their home pages or ads or video content. Etc.

Sad loss, life drifts on. R.
