This is how the Archive Team is going to save Tumblr (and you can help us)

There is a website in trouble like Tumblr

We have hundreds of warriors machines, which run a special operating system made for archiving the web.

There is a tracker which is a central ToDo list worked on by each warrior. The warriors keep the files for archiving only for a moment before they hand them to the staging servers.

The staging server collect and process the data into huge .warc files which are accepted by archive.org

archive.org process and indexed our .warc files and makes them available in the wayback machine. It takes care of the long term hosting. Each TB stored costs somewhere between 1500$ and 2000$ in the long run. 

Our minimum how much we will save is above 60 TBs. An estimate of the total size of the NSFW part of tumblr alone is 10-20 times that. Even when we will archive only a fraction it is going to be expensive.  When you donate to archive.org today. Your donation will be matched.

You can help the Archive Team (which is not related to the nice guys at archive.org) by filling out this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoYnlweKF-5iQ2G0FB9s7pDV_Le61dDU-gMMDsc8CQ50YBjQ/viewform?hl=en form  which is used to built the ToDo list stored by the tracker. We are looking for endangered blogs like NSFW blogs for example. If you know any that you would be sad be to loose please add them to the list. That way they will be saved.

Please share.

We were banned from archiving more. We are working on a work around. We should have saved all pages you submitted since we started with them first. Also we did get nearly 40TB. It could be way worse.

Tumblr: bans 90% of its site People: archive Tumblr:    :o Tumblr: ban!

You can look hoe our succesfull archival would look like here: https://web.archive.org/web/20181208083249/https://fluffy-wolf-strife.tumblr.com/

Tell Tumblr this is not ok and get the word out!

Some of us are backing up our blogs and those of our friends using the Python utility. Can we send you our blogs to include in your Internet Archive backup? Or is there some way we can get them into the Internet Archive ourselves?

You can send us your list but it would best if you talk with us over at this irc http://chat.efnet.org:9090/?channels=%23tumbledown . They maybe able to tell you how many blogs your list has we missed.

I think it is unlikely that you get your archived content in to the IRC, reasons: You probably did not use .warc files to store the content. You can not prove you did not temper with the content.  Archive.org is very stringent with this since they are used as evidence in court sometimes.

Ohhh shit im stupid and didnt read the requirement; i sent in non-nsfw blogs, should i redo my entry?

If you redo your entry, the old one will still remain in the list and you only add duplicates. Please do not submit again.

We are restricting ourselves to NSFW, since the complete tumblr is more than we can chew. But a few black sheep are not a problem. Anyway could you send us a message with the non-NSFW blogs you sent.

[17decemberarchive-blog]

We reached over 500 submissions but the speed is slowing a little.

You can submit NSFW blogs to be saved here.

Can we also submit Tumblrs that are not specifically NSFW? Like recs blogs that also recced NSFW works?Thank you for doing this!

I’ve talked about that with the team: We came to this conclusion: First we focus an NSFW content since it is the most endagered. Later we will do other runs for the falsly flagged content. What does that mean for you: Send us all your links that you think are endangered and if a few are not deleted in the end that is still better than potentially losing stuff forever.

We work by three virtues: rage, paranoia and kleptomania.

[17decemberarchive-blog]

What about blogs that are already gone?

They are gone - likely.

[17decemberarchive-blog]

We, the archive team, just hit the 200th submission at an average rate of 1 per 5 minutes. One submission contains up to 10 URLs unless you are the one guy who just links to a document with over 200 blogs. We are fine with that too ;)

We are collecting NSFW blogs on tumblr so we can archive them. You can submit your favorite NSFW blogs here.

The Archive Team is a loose collective founded in 2009 which has lot’s of experience with archiving websites. We even got an special operating system (running in VMs) called Warrior which helps us to distribute the archiving process and crawling over many, many machines. These wariors save .warc which is the same technology archive.org uses. By distributing the load on our machines we make the life easier for archive.org and easier for you since you do not have to submit every URL by hand in to the waybackmachine.

Please use our form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoYnlweKF-5iQ2G0FB9s7pDV_Le61dDU-gMMDsc8CQ50YBjQ/viewform?hl=en and submit domains in this way: 17decemberarchive.tumblr.com

[17decemberarchive-blog]

you might want to reblog or post in the "#tumblr purge" and "#dec 17" tags amongst others - you'd get better visibility there

Thanks

Everyone on tumblr on the morning of December 17th:

[17decemberarchive-blog]

We, the archive team, think that petitions will change nothing. That is why we are prepairing for the worst. We have dealed with Yahoo before. They killed GeoCities with little warning (read more). Currently Flickr another Yahoo subsidiary is on the death bed too. That is because all accounts which have more than 1000 pictures will be frozen and many pictures deleted until 1000 remain. We do not have high hopes that Yahoo will turn around on this one issue of many. Do not get us started on their Blogs, Video Platform and Groups.

We attempt to archive most of the NSFW blogs of tumblr. Instead of singning partition you can back up your own data and tell us about your favorite endangered blogs so we can archive them.

The tag of the campaign is #tumbledown btw. You can learn more about us here: https://17decemberarchive.tumblr.com/post/180795765906/save-endangered-tumblrs-before-17-december

IMPORTANT

Please look at this Archive Team page for help with backing up Tumblr blogs

You WILL NEED TO DO THIS

[17decemberarchive-blog]

We are also trying to reach people over tumblr. If you could boost this post http://17decemberarchive.tumblr.com/post/180795765906 it would help.

[ask-hungary-prussia]

I am not sure we can convince tumblr to change. To prepare for the worst case they archive team is collecting a list of kinky blogs. We will archive them and make them available later. Can you spread the words and submit a few domains of your own?

Okey so @ask-hungary-prussia and @ask-spain-romano are mine and have kinky stuff

You can use that form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoYnlweKF-5iQ2G0FB9s7pDV_Le61dDU-gMMDsc8CQ50YBjQ/viewform?hl=en to submit your favorite endangered blogs.

Each blog helps us discover more blogs since our bots can follow the chain of reblogs and discover more adult content that was.

But our bots are worse than those of tumblr in finding adult content since they were built to archive the internet not finds nudes. That is why we need your help. Submit many NSFW blogs so our bots can start saving the NSFW part of tumblr.

[17decemberarchive-blog]

Interesting thing we found out during our archiving of NSFW for blogs: (Yes we attempt to archive all NSFW blogs of tumblr)

A minority of all blogs are reblogged the majority of the time. It looks very much like a pareto distribution. I cut of the long tail of the distribution at a few hunderd blogs. Less than 7% precent of all blogs were reblogged more than 5 times. This statistic is based on in complete data. To give us more data please fill in your favorite NSFW blogs in this form:

[17decemberarchive-blog]

You do not need to submit each of your links. A link to document with all your websites is fine too. Just keep submitting.

You can submit your sites at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoYnlweKF-5iQ2G0FB9s7pDV_Le61dDU-gMMDsc8CQ50YBjQ/viewform

[17decemberarchive-blog]

We got over 10 submissions for blogs the archive team should archive so far.

The archive team (https://archiveteam.org/) will put all these blogs in the front of our queue when try to archive what we can.
