What to Preserve

Intro

This is a supplement to the Archive Team's Deathwatch and Fire Drills. Most of these are just ideas I had jumping around in my head, and they might be subject to changes.

DistroWatch's Tips and tricks

DLsite was blacklisted by several payment processors and some of its games have been deleted. Somewhat justified for material considered illegal overseas, though the SFW sections (home, soft, comic, app) probably should be mirrored.

GBATemp's Wiki just refuses to be scraped!

Internet Archive because INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK is paused at the moment.

itch.io is a mixed bag, though some of its better games aren't mirrored elsewhere in case it goes down again.

Laserdisc/LaserActive rips

LiveJournal

Neocities is fine at the moment, though it could become a good source of modern history.

new arcade games

obscure Fandom wikis

Online-only games

OpenLeaks and WikiLeaks

osu! is being overhauled. Original charts partially cloned in osu!octave's data

Paramount+ delisted The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder. That show is probably not a big loss, though should we download other streaming exclusives just in case?

remywiki

The SCP Foundation is still being cloned.

SocietyGlitch is a private torrent tracker dedicated to rare documents, photos, and videos. While some of its media have been mirrored on Internet Archive and reviewed on Oddity Archive, others could become even harder to find if the primary source shut down.

Touhou Wiki

The first Xbox's DLC has become scarce after the closure of its Xbox Live.

Running Already Preserved Material

Android apps/games

FDS QD files

N-Gage games

VMU communications are not properly emulated yet, meaning that the Chao Adventure games can only send powered-up Chao to the Sonic Adventure games on real hardware.
