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.
ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

QUEENS BLADE LOST WORLDS BOOKS IN ENGLISH
These books are hardbound, and the interior art is in full color. They are printed in Japan, and each of these books is fully compatible with all the other Lost Worlds books. In the originals the text is in Japanese - (there is an English on this page. ) but these are a print run that is printed in English.
Below are the "Queens Blade" series in English. To see the Japanese version:
LOST WORLDS is a fantasy combat game. It takes two books to play the game. Your book is your character/fighter, and each book has it's own advantages and weaknesses. To fight a duel you trade books, so you are looking at pictures of your opponent. Each picture shows what your opponent did last move. There are more than 50 other Lost Worlds combat picture books (each fully compatible with these Queens Blade books) at .
This page last changed December 2, 2015.
Steve Crompton has created a parody cover of a fake Queens Blade book featuring his "Demi the Demoness" character. If you'd like to see the DEMI Queens Blade satire cover then click that link.

Special note: J-list is a fun website where you can buy all sorts of cool items imported from Japan. They sell these books too, but they also sell 3-d versions of some of these characters (plastic dolls) and even bubble gum trading cards! Take a look. And if you buy from them using this link, Flying Buffalo gets a commission. So don't be shy!
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have in stock all four of the English version QB books.

Melona: Shapeshifter. Since Melona shifts her shape to resemble the other characters, the artwork is a lot more varied than the other books. There's even a page where she shifts to being a centaur. There is no centaur character in Queens Blade (yet) but there is one in the Lost Worlds series!
