Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
This show is crap and here's why:
1. The single men are often dripping with weak sauce
2. The women are largely generic and average (except this season's Emily Maynard)
3. A lot of these men aren't really herefor love. Proof: Watch some of them end up on The Bachelor Pad show (a season long of debauchery for a chance at a measly $100k)
4. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHO'LL make it to the end - hint: the best looking singles. Only JP evaded from last season this rule.
5. Out of all the seasons of the bachelor and the bachelorette, only 1 couple married and stayed married (I believe).
Here the good points of the show:
1. The settings are always amazing. Gives me good date ideas (as long as she's paying)
2. I get a masterclass in lie detection training.
3. Watching Chris Harrison keep a straight face while feigning his conviction that this show "works"
4. The manginas (that's man + vaginas FYI) that get dragged to the reunion shows. LOL!!!!!! I feel hypocritical as I'm writing this since I watch this crap (I fast forward to the disasters, but still, I'm guilty).
True lasting love usually reveals itself after you weathered some storms, not after all-expenses paid fantasy vacations/helicopter rides/private concerts when your suitor is on his best behavior.
