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.

We run into bandwidth issues occasionally as-is, so we'd need to upgrade the site.

I would be willing to donate to keep provocateuse, but I think that we should keep it separate from b.org. It's a lot of bandwidth, and I wouldn't want it to interfere with b.org or be a problem if we needed to separate them.

Well, I have the archiver software running. It will take a while, and I think I'm going to need to archive each subdomain separately and then clean up the code to make it all work. I am certainly happy to host it at least until we see if we need to try to work something else out.

I don't own any reasonable domain names - I will probably put it on provocateuse.grizzy.org for now. I'm sure we could raise the money to register the domain but unfortunately it is coming up as already registered - I assume ita's hosting expired but not her registration. But getting it up and running is the hard part - changing the domain name is the work of five minutes.

I'm currently assuming we will be archiving it more as a memorial than a living site to be changed. If we'd rather try to keep it alive, then I can give somebody a username to access the code once it's all up and running, since that's not really my domain (I've never actually visited the site until today, but it seems like the right thing to do to save it if we can.)
