00:29 πŸ”— dashcloud taking this blog post: http://blog.qwiki.com/post/53523303237/this-weeks-best-on-qwiki it looks like all the videos have randomly generated strings of numbers & letters
00:30 πŸ”— dashcloud good news: if you can actually find them, it's really simple to download them: http://www.qwiki.com/v/n0ySD5ij
00:38 πŸ”— dashcloud I get offered a webm file on that page, and the page source indicates there's an MP4 download option
00:43 πŸ”— winr4r the bad news is that gives you 62^8 possible IDs
01:04 πŸ”— SketchCow NOOOOO
01:14 πŸ”— BlueMax hey hey hey, I'm not that bad of an apocalypse bringer
02:02 πŸ”— winr4r http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ESPN_Forums
02:02 πŸ”— winr4r fuck me, this is not going to be a fun month for you guys
02:04 πŸ”— winr4r (the best part, i just looked at the forums: lots and lots of ajax bullshit)
02:10 πŸ”— arrith1 SketchCow: what makes it so there can't be other people you allow to do things on the IA ArchiveTeam collection?
02:40 πŸ”— SketchCow I can allow that
02:40 πŸ”— SketchCow It's just nobody has the access to take random other users' stuff and shove it in
02:40 πŸ”— SketchCow It's your own stuff, or the stuff in the collection
04:45 πŸ”— arrith1 SketchCow: ah. seems like there should be some way for a user to be able to click or check something to consent to their stuff being shoved into a collection. some "request for admission into the ArchiveTeam collection"
05:01 πŸ”— xmc that sounds like more work than IA engineers are interested in doing
05:14 πŸ”— arrith1 hmm
05:18 πŸ”— SketchCow 100%[=================================================================================>] 22,551,298,014 4.97M/s in 39m 50s

05:18 πŸ”— SketchCow Burp
05:56 πŸ”— Smiley SketchCow: this, to be included, :) https://archive.org/details/posterous-completed
09:41 πŸ”— Smiley so the guy who originally built bebo has brought it back.... so might screw it up?
09:41 πŸ”— Smiley http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/02/bebo_founder_buys_social_network_for_a_song/
09:48 πŸ”— winr4r hmmm.
09:49 πŸ”— winr4r let's hope "reinvent" doesn't mean "do what myspace did"
09:50 πŸ”— ersi Got a colleauge who's getting spammed from MySpace asking him to come back
09:50 πŸ”— winr4r yeah uh
09:50 πŸ”— winr4r that sounds like a good and safe place to invest your time
09:51 πŸ”— winr4r you know, after deleting most of your shit with no warning
09:51 πŸ”— ersi JustinSpace
09:51 πŸ”— winr4r did you know myspace actually deleted all of the bands' fans when they "reinvented"?
09:52 πŸ”— Smiley ersi: yeah they are spamming me telling me how I can remix photos or something
09:54 πŸ”— winr4r http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Myspace
09:54 πŸ”— winr4r (written last night)
09:57 πŸ”— Smiley "Myspace is a music discovery service and former social networking website, with a penchant for deleting all of your shit with no warning. " - beautiful.
10:02 πŸ”— winr4r you're welcome
10:02 πŸ”— winr4r so like, bebo, let's keep an eye on it
10:04 πŸ”— winr4r "eventually registering at least 10.7 million unique users"
10:05 πŸ”— winr4r aka "slightly smaller than jason's cat GIF collection"
10:06 πŸ”— Smiley :D
10:16 πŸ”— Baljem I was vaguely surprised to see anyone was interested in paying any money for Bebo, then I noticed it said "million" not "billion" and suddenly it made more sense
10:17 πŸ”— Baljem any idea how many active members over there these days? deleted my account years ago :/
10:17 πŸ”— winr4r Baljem: yeah, that's what you call a bargain
10:17 πŸ”— winr4r given that he made like half a billion on its original sale, that's like, BEST VENTURE CAPITAL RAISING ATTEMPT EVER
10:18 πŸ”— Baljem yeah. Murdoch and ITV are both sitting there looking at their failed social media sites thinking "lucky bastard!"
10:18 πŸ”— winr4r Baljem: i just realised, the 10.7 million figure is users in the united kingdom
10:19 πŸ”— godane i think myspace was one of those things you have back up around 2010 or 2011
10:19 πŸ”— godane cause there was a lof changes happening with it just for no reason
10:19 πŸ”— winr4r Baljem: picking one at random from the front page:
10:20 πŸ”— winr4r http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=137326235
10:20 πŸ”— winr4r if they're using incremental IDs, she's #137,326,235
10:21 πŸ”— winr4r on the other hand, i don't believe that figure
10:21 πŸ”— winr4r and subtract 1 from that number and you're asked to log in, which implies the user might not exist (who's got a bebo account and wants to find out!)
10:23 πŸ”— Baljem wtf -> http://www.bebo.com/new-cars/
10:23 πŸ”— Baljem (linked from the bottom of every page)
10:25 πŸ”— Baljem according to their most recent press release (December 2010!), 117 million registered users. so #137,326,235, created five years before that, is either non-sequential or they have a lot of deleted accounts
10:26 πŸ”— winr4r yup
10:27 πŸ”— * winr4r looks for some higher IDs
10:28 πŸ”— winr4r yeah, i just found 4569424283
10:28 πŸ”— winr4r so either there's a lot of people with no internet and bebo accounts or they're not sequential
15:08 πŸ”— Muad-Dib I think I just found and archived what certain people believe to be Adam Lanza´s Wikipedia editing history
15:09 πŸ”— Muad-Dib http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/newtown-sandy-hook-school-shooting/hc-adam-lanza-online-posts-20130630,0,1646302.story

20:19 πŸ”— DFJustin might be a good time to grab some egyptian government websites
20:41 πŸ”— anon1235 Are you all aware that Atari (game company) is going to be broken up and sold off over the next few months? There are several old FTP sites, RollerCoaster Tycoon Ride Exchanges, etc. operated by the company that are still operational. How long will it last? http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/23/atari-inc-seeks-to-generate-22m-by-auctioning-assets-in-july/
20:46 πŸ”— balrog ftp sites where?
20:47 πŸ”— anon1235 I'm amazed it's still up, balrog ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/
20:48 πŸ”— anon1235 Atari is a subsidiary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infogrames
21:21 πŸ”— balrog anon1235: no, infogrames was a subsidiary. or is infogrames sold?
21:21 πŸ”— balrog I'd still archive that ftp
21:26 πŸ”— anon1235 balrog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infogrames_Entertainment%2C_SA#Transition_from_Infogrames_Entertainment
21:27 πŸ”— balrog ouch... I see.
21:27 πŸ”— anon1235 I don't know for sure. I'm more interested in archiving the RCT ride exchanges but I'm not an archivist and have no idea how to go about this. http://rctexchange.atari.com/exchange/rct2
21:27 πŸ”— anon1235 ah, looks like it's down already
21:27 πŸ”— anon1235 oops
21:28 πŸ”— anon1235 Archived, but the rides themselves are not. http://web.archive.org/web/20120419233417/http://rctexchange.atari.com/exchange/rct2/list
21:28 πŸ”— balrog :[
21:29 πŸ”— anon1235 Hopefully this doesn't get me thrown out of here, but I don't think it's a huge loss. :) If you care about those games and make something really spectacular, you've uploaded it to other third-party sites.
21:30 πŸ”— anon1235 Here's an older version. I still don't think there anyway to download them. http://web.archive.org/web/20021203141800/http://www.rollercoastertycoon2.com/ride/
22:15 πŸ”— SketchCow It won't get you thrown out of here but it's not a good attitude.
22:15 πŸ”— SketchCow But it definitely is like loosing the custom drawings off a beloved restaurant's wall more than, say, burning photo albums
22:21 πŸ”— SketchCow Classless
23:07 πŸ”— SketchCow archive.org just broke s3
23:07 πŸ”— SketchCow (And a billion other things)
23:07 πŸ”— SketchCow So if you're getting issues, that's it.
23:10 πŸ”— * DFJustin blames underscor
23:10 πŸ”— Ravenloft ersi I used it a lot too
23:10 πŸ”— Ravenloft astalavista.box.sk
