@adminsFirst off, happy birthday (to me). (This might be my last birthday on this site and I'm not sure we'll even get to the site's 11th birthday at this rate.)

Hey u/ajshell1,
I work at Linode, and I'm hoping you can deliver a message for me to the operators of shrinemaiden.org's forum so that we can prevent the site from going down at all. I tried to register on the forum, but it appears registration is currently disabled.
First and foremost, I'm sorry for your loss. From the bit of reading I did, it sounds like TSO / Helvetica was a great friend who was a tremendous benefit to the Touhou community.
Through context from your forum I'm lead to believe that one of the administrators has access to a Linode user account, but they are having difficulty accessing the server via SSH because they do not have the root password. If they have permissions, they should be able to reset the root password of the server, and from there they can do anything they need in order to keep you up and running.
Thanks for forwarding this along if you can.

How important is the stuff in your sent/outbox? I have a "works for me" scraper to backup PMs, but it does require some setup on the users behalf. And it doesn't work on sent messages because I have none to test with :VI do have some so perhaps I could help with that, just send me the code. But wait... then you'll have a sent message so you won't need my help anymore.
I have a question about the status of Rumia's Party Games, particularly the Mystia's Stored Games subforum: The quests archived there tend to span multiple threads of 1000 posts per thread, which makes them a bit difficult and tedious to back up and preserve. I also heard that there were archive crawlers going around through the site, so what I would like to know is if the archive crawlers intend to back up MSG as well or if that would solely be our responsibility?I'm backing up all threads I can access with my account, so yes, that includes MSG.
