Whom?

If I had money I would donate.
This is probably one of the few things worth giving money to and it fucking sucks that they are risking shutting down.

rip

They can't reach that goal anymore. This is nearly impossible and they are not known enough besides being one of the top-websites. Normies don't care or have even heard about it at all. Sadly this means that most of some information I would really need are completely offline. Afterall seems like the internet can forget things sometimes.

Yes, yes. Goyim, donate or we will Shut it Down®.

Seems like the end of the civilization.

Does this mean my cringey early internet shit is going to be gone?

Richfag here.
Why should I donate? And what will I get if I do?

Fuck all archives

Hope it dies

They replaced poor-quality fake 9/11 victim images in the archive with better ones, so I can't in good conscience support them. Most likely a CIA project like Wikipedia anyways, so they don't need your money.

t. crackpot

I see they copied Wikipedia's methods quite well

you'll make a lot of people happy.
internet culture is the only culture america has, therefore you contribute directly to the preservation of american culture.

What did they mean by this?

Sup globe user

YOU DON'T OWN NOTHING YOU FILTHY GOYIM

WE OWN THE ARCHIVES

WE OWN HISTORY

PAY THE SHECKS OR WE SHUT IT DOWN

has wikipedia stopped their yearly begging or has my adblocker caught it?

internet archive is honestly worth more than every social media site combined

>Sup Forums using the archive all the time
>Sup Forums now calling them jews
fuck off and die subhuman, they provide a good service

I thought Sup Forums used archive.is which isn't affiliated with archive.org I think

Do I do it?

nice quads

I see they subscribed to the fake news meme too
Also from what they say it looks like they are mostly looking for money to build the canadian version because of trump because they are retarded, doesn't look like they are economically in danger

Monthly donation? A one off donation is fine but I wouldn't donate every month, much less $100

Imagine a world where you will no longer be able to see an archive of an old website.

DO IT

>Sup Forums

God damn it.
Why did I vote for trump.

>almost same number of likes and retweets
Really makes you think...

You brought this on yourself

If it goes down, does that mean GamerGate lost?

Don't worry user. Hillary wasn't any better.
t. Muslim american

She was better than Trump, but still shit.

Hehe.
Only thing I don't like about him is his jewish love.

Otherwise I'm okay with him (for now)

inshallah islamiya

>Also from what they say it looks like they are mostly looking for money to build the canadian version because of trump because they are retarded, doesn't look like they are economically in danger
this also confuses the heck out of me

>[Donating intensifies]
Wait, he looks like a jew. Donation aborted.
>Brewster Kahle
>Derived from the German word "kahl," which means "bald."
kek

I'm not worried at all about any of his "racist" policies because I am American and also I live in a diverse area.
That being said, many people are alarmed by his tech related opinions, such as how terrible encryption is and privacy.
How is this any different than what Hillary would have done? As far as I can tell they are pretty similar to each other.

If this is news to you you're retarded, Trump has always been pro-israel

Hillary was slightly worse than the status quo. Trump is the status quo in overdrive.

There is a difference between "pro" something and literally licking their anus. "DUDE HOLD ON BABY I'LL SAVE YOU ON THE 20th!!@!@!"

>HERES 50 BILLION DOLLARS AS A APOLOGY, It's cool, they're our pals, we can splurge!

Because he keeps his word and supports his allies?

this

Infinite hosting at 99% of hosts is $30 a month but we need donations!

I remember this meme taking off in 2002 or so. Never heard anything about hosting issues before and all of a sudden, we need donations to stay alive! we survive off of donations!

>keeps his word
Yeah good thing he locked away Hilary just like he said he would do.

Lmao you mean like how he promised to abolish Obamacare, and then after actually learning what it is he changed his mind?
Face it. All politicians are shit. You guys were just fooled by Trump's memery.

I upload 50gb video files of static everyday just to take up space

He's not president yet you know.
He can't do shit

>tapes and hard drives grow on trees
Just because some companies offer unsustainable deals to grow as fast as possible doesn't mean you can use then when your main concern is to survive for as long as possible.

Don't forget how the wall "doesn't have to be wall-like" now.

Prove it.

He was asked whether or not he would push for the prosecution, after winning the election. He replied 'no'.
vanityfair.com/news/2016/11/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-email-prosecution

You're actually delusional.
>Trump promises so many things
>Wins election
>Goes back on all of them before even getting into office

What you're doing is called escalation of prior commitment, where you supported something that turned out to be shit, and now you're too scared to admit you were wrong.

hosts in question have been around for 15 years, although I guess when you're as psuedo-old as you need to be to run an archiving site, you'd just throw some shit out there about "longevity". owner is just another faceless boomer in a sea of boomers

we must preserve the web as it was so, I can like, look at it, or something!

nothing of value was lost.

get a host

It's not the presidents job to do that.
Now if he blocks organizations from doing so, then he's a piece of shit

The election is over.
Fuck off back to your containment board.

He went back on the wall long before voting was enabled though, so who cares

Thanks for the y-.. oh

If this is such an important piece of american history why isn't the government funding it?
t. Non-american

>Dey dook his yuuuu?
dey dook ar youuuus!!!!!!
DUK A YUUUUUUU

>government funds it
>OY VEY WE need 5 billion per year to run these servers

>Not using 4chanX or clover

nobody gives a shit about the old web besides losers and 20 year olds aspiring to be internet losers

entire company is hosting it like it's 1996 when it was founded. picture is all you need to know, he probably hasn't been part of the tech industry for all of those two decades.

you don't just get one host, you consolidate between many. you will never be able to compete with the quality of a real host since it's all they do and sell, and why you see all these hippie self hosted pieces of shit die out. just like freebsd was all hosted in some loser's basement and ran into money problems because this hosting model is 20 years old. nobody cares if you jump up and scream "I can do it too!!!!!!!" when the site only lasts a few years before you lose interest and it's gone

Nothing of value was lost. Good fucking riddance.

>fake news

>mfw french
>mfw we have the equivalent of this with supercharged powers to ignore all copyright if they need to since 1995
>mfw thanks to them we have shittons of data to draw from on recent history free of charge
I'd really be sad to see Archive.org go, the folks over there do a work that few people are able or have the interest to do but that is vital to History.
Praise Jason Scott and his friends.

>nobody gives a shit about the old web
I'll take Epistemology of History for $200 Alex.

merifats will get the government that they deserve. Careful with what you wish for.

RIP ISIS beheading videos and all the well-hidden kiddie porn caches of the early 2000s.

>Will you miss them?
F

All it takes is one little mention of Trump to derail a thread.

Remember when trolling used to take effort?
These days with all that culture war bullshit going on you just have to say inflammatory or mention the President-Elect.

I feel old.

owner of archive is just another worthless old fuck stuck in the past. it doesn't matter who the president is because he or she would be new and that is the real problem with old people. If there's nothing in their tos about scraping, someone with literally any host can hit a button and save it. Same shit happened with geocities. nobody really cares about that either because they had to actually look at it again instead of just "remembering" it

You're going to need to deal with this for EIGHT YEARS you faggot.

yes yes we do this every 4 years and the internet becomes exponentially approaching worthless as you can't discuss anything and nobody remembers all the times we've done this in the past.

let me spell it out for newcomers to the thread

-owner of archive.org is an old piece of shit
-old pieces of shit freak out over changes
-change in this case was a new president which has to happen
-it has to be chosen that somebody will be president
-no matter who, or what, became president, old people freak out over change
you are now here

Get a host faggot

"muh donations" is a 2000 era scam before hosts became mainstream

88 ... 88 ... can't make it up.

Hope you're aware of the
>"we reserve the right to remove material"
clause. If you're not, provide a link!

Then again, they never do. There are openly albums of major musicians/TV shows that continue to be shared. The Internet Archive's status as a library puts it legally in an interesting position.

you really belive a universal archive should be non redundant and if it is run on donations that these are a scam

how did you retard even find this board? your not even allowed here without your moms supervision

Ill miss them as much as I miss spell checking.

There's a ton of illegal rom sets uploaded to archive.org. Like the no-intro rom set that has the rom sets from almost every console and handheld up to the 5th generation.

I always think it's hilarious that Nintendo forced archive.org to take down the old issues of Nintendo Power a few months when the no-intro rom collection that I'm sure Nintendo has been aware of for years is still there.

They're not immediately going belly-up if they don't reach the goal, this particular fundraiser is to create another complete copy of the existing archive in another location, in case there's an earthquake or other disaster takes out their data center.

Also, they do accept bitcoin if you want to donate anonymously: archive.org/donate/bitcoin.php

I think archive.org is one of few places worthy of donations, and if I weren't out of a job and essentially broke because of it, I'd probably donate.

Donations are for pussies. They should be making money on the free market if they want to survive.

yes I know, just call me a kid, instead of getting a host, for $30.

who is worse, some retard firmly stuck in the past with 90s DIY hosting, or your strawman of me being a kid? even with the latter I'd know about hosts. Old people in any sort of tech field are toxic because they just hold onto their stupid shit ways.

even if you dearly like archive.org, you have to admit this guy is a total fucking neo-luddite for refusing to not get a host after two entire decades.

cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1131&start=330#p2370448

This. I want all my shitposts to disappear in the ether.

alright, find me a "host" with a few 1000 TBs of storage
remember, 30$/month, like you said

>"fake news" complaint
>literally moving to Canada

take your virtue signalling and shove it up your ass

wait a second, it says nowhere that they are going to close, in fact it only says the money is to open another extra archive.

This is pure jewery

Sup Forums literally voted in a jew lover lmao

>actually giving money to Silicon Valley potheads

He kept the GOOD parts of Obamacare that people wanted to keep anyway

Just GET A HOST, turd.

>kept
>president-elect

...

Makes no sense, since those NP issues are old anyways and the mag stopped at #285 in 2012.

>tfw we could have had issue 300 and ended on a nice round number. 285 was a terrible final issue.

I make a wikipedia article about a fake animal every month. Completely fabricated but seemingly real. Only a few have been taken down.

I hope it dies

Link nigger

oh no

how will aging hippies get their five trillion Grateful Dead bootlegs now

No, not a single fuck will be given.
