I bet you could do it using something like HTTrack. I would be willing to host it. I can play with that later, perhaps.

or somebody could try to figure out how to work Warrick [link]

Looks like Warrick is Linux/Unix only, but I couuld try HTTrack this weekend.

HTTrack is working for me, but it's going to save it in a really weird, disorganized way because of the way the wayback machine works (each file has its date built in as part of the URL, so I'm getting hundreds of "sites" each of which is a date stamp).

There are websites for pay that might be able to do it better. But I think they may count each subdomain as a different "site" and charge $7+ per site. So that would get moderately pricy.

I think Warrick looks like a really good option. Unfortunately, my current linux boot disk can't detect my wireless card, so I can't really try it out!

We could ask in Tech if anyone has a Linux install. Or did it also say it worked in OSX?

I will play with it tonight. If I can't get it working I bet a Linux guru elsewhere on the board can.

Thanks for doing this, Gris and whomever else may pitch in. It made me very sad to think that provocateuse would disappear forever. It's great that we can offer a labor of love to bring back something that was a labor of love for her. And just plain loved by the rest of us.

I'm happy to host it but assuming I can get it archived in a logical day would it make sense to propose that we host it here instead? Perhaps at a sub domain like provocateuse.Buffistas.org with a in memo roam sort of front page?

I just worry about the bandwidth for all those images.

Bandwidth is not the issue it once was I think. Not unless we start our own Netflix. I would bet our Dreamhost account offers essentially unlimited for this sort of thing. I ran a forum with several thousand uploaded images on it on the lowest Dreamhost tier for quite a while with no issues.
