It's a naked power grab. This whole chain of events was staged right from the beginning.

I don't really have a problem with archival, but I think it's better to have the archives hard to find but circulated among the members, instead of publicly indexed on the wayback machine. That way the people who it's emotionally significant to have it but not the random internet weirdos digging for a person's online history

Things sure have been moving quickly. I do notice that the site appears have to been set up before the announcement thread here, which makes me wonder at what point it was decided to start making arrangements.

It's too late - how many archives are we up to now? Infy's archive, Tom's archive, ArchiveBot's archive (which will be going onto the Wayback Machine once it's done) makes three public archives so far by my count.

Yes; I've got wind of the mirrors and such being set up. All the more reason to pause while this is going on, because we don't know how much they'll be updated beyond initial mirroring/saving/archiving/ect.

Reminds me to save a copy of my signiture. Also that random link added to it. At this point it's a part of my profile.

EDIT: Oh wait we might have a new thing setup already: https://www.shrinemaiden.com/index.php [Note .com and not .org]

It's quite late so I can't set things up today. Will try tomorrow.

Well I can't really describe "exact" things I'd want, it's more having the post history to observe my general thought progression through certain periods of my Touhou career. I might be able to get what I want written down sooner rather than later, who knows. Don't worry about extracting anything right now, though thanks for the offer.

But on that note, I imagine we wouldn't be able to log in to Tom's archived version once the original goes down? In terms of my post history, the stuff I'd want to look up for reference is spread across many forum threads, so going to my post history from my profile would be the best way for me to do that on my own.

From what i can tell, all of your posts are in the CSV file and Tom's archive. The only issue though is your name is Japanese characters, and the CSV doesn't seem to have used UTF-16 in the Author names, rather opting to use U+ denotation to store your name. For reference, I'm pretty sure your name is <U+3075><U+306D><U+3093>1 in the csv file.

Main benefit of having the CSV file with everything in it is that most of the hard work of crawling the website and getting all the posts into an easily convertible format has already been done. All that's left would be to figure out a way to make searching the contents and present it in an easy to use fashion.  The way I'm thinking about going about it is to make a converter that can convert CSV into an SQL database, then let SQL handle the searching once it's been converted over. Theoretically, since topic IDs were preserved in the CSV file, to search the database and link to a specific page in the static HTML archive. Would also make it possible to list all the posts made by a user, or show the entire forum thread on a single page.

Might take a while on my end tho, life is busy.

It's a really shame what happened, but I just wanted to thank you guys for posting on this thread and keeping stuff updated; I REALLY like all of these composers' work so I'm very thankful you've kept us noted on their releases!  You rock! ♥
