Does anyone know how big the footprint of RR is? I'm wondering if we can archive it for a future iteration of the site.
I"m sure web archive.org has a lot of it.
Trouble is, archive.org can't always save everything very well, depends on the material. They might have a bunch of posts but they might be scattered willy nilly, hard to say.
I went to archive.org and had a look around. RR earlier web archive is February 2006. it's just stumps - meaning thread titles. Nothing in them when you click on the titles.
That's what I was referring to. A friend of mine is a walking talking Leon Russell encyclopedia and he used to have "MergeOp's Leon Russell Page" back in the old days. His collection was so complete that even Leon HIMSELF remarked about it.
"I don't always remember everything I did and sometimes I have to go look something up on EJ's site to see if I really did work on that record."
Ernie was absolutely floored. But when we found his retired site on The Wayback Machine a lot of it was just stumps, as you said. He finally reloaded his old site somewhere and filled it all back in but at least Wayback had the bare bones.
