ADMIN POST

As a preventive measure I'm asking contributors who posted anything of an adult nature in the last round to please lock it down. I'm locking down everything else. Communities have been disappearing left and right and to prevent us from being next I'm making this a members-only community.

Sorry!

I'm considering it. I'm prepared to purchase web space right now to secure a new home for the challenge. I just need to find out if there is a way to back-up the community.

Right. Apart from going through the community since its inception and hand-saving each webpage individually, then copying the format over to the new page, I have no idea. But a sign-up involving verification emails could help should the need to transfer turn imminent.

Let me know if you need a financial contribution. LJ won't be receiving any further renewal fees from me if my favourite communities disappear.

There's a LJ archiving utility called ljArchive that you can get here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/

I'm not sure how well it works for communities, but it does have that function, and it seems to work great for individual LJs.

I've noticed the LJ server being kind of flaky these past couple days, though, and I'm guessing that's a product of their purge and panicked people trying to back-up everything.
