archivist

I don't think there's info about this one on the wiki yet: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Roblox

Looks like it will be done pretty quickly, as it was set to be the default project for warriors.

The archival started not long before the site was to be shut down, so there wasn't time to grab everything.

When the owners finally pulled the plug, blog posts started returning a 403 error, then later 410 errors. Images and javascript files remained downloadable for longer, but the JS files started returning 410 after a while as well. Images were still available for quite a bit longer.

Today, only so-called "tag" items were being archived, possibly because we ran out of known images, or the team sniffed out that those were still available and valuable.

The last item my warrior grabbed was a tag item at 2025-04-02T10:39:21.085891703Z

8M-14M known items are left unarchived, presumably many more millions not yet discovered.

Archive Team has just begun the distributed archiving of the Japanese SS Blog, a blog hosting service, which is set to be discontinued on March 31, 2025.

And you can help! There isn't much time left, so as many people running the warrior as possible is needed.

Resources:

• The wiki page of the project (not much info)
• The tracker (at the top of the page) has the simplest info on how you can help out
• The github page offers a docker-based alternative for advanced users, and more info on best practices for this sort of archiving

Why help out?

The web is disappearing all the time, and often a lot of previously easily accessible information is lost to time. These japanese blogs may not be very important to you, but they certainly are to a lot of people, and nobody knows what sort of information is found only here, until they need it.

In late February, members of the DWeb Core Team and the DWeb community were in Taipei to attend the 13th edition of RightsCon, the largest global summit on human rights in the digital age. Namely, we were there to connect with the digital rights community. We wanted to participate in an event where thousands of people travel from around the world to discuss the current and future state of the internet, and to meet others who were involved in building decentralized, distributed, and peer-to-peer network technologies.

The internet is a living, breathing space—constantly growing, changing, and, unfortunately, disappearing. Important articles get taken down. Research papers become inaccessible. Historical records vanish. When content disappears, we lose pieces of our shared knowledge.
