Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

So glad HRH is home safe and sound. Moodiness and all!
Don't worry. She'll get over it. Hey, did she bring you any autographs?

'Ordinary Suburban Kitty'?!? My four are deeply offended by that slur! As far as they are concerned, all cats are - and should be treated as - Royalty. :o)
Would the word "puppy" help??...juz wondering...
ha ha ha!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhh, poor Ex-Lady-Zara! Poor, poor thing. Having to readjust to life, not lived in the fasssst lane.
Ya' know, I didn't see any photos of Lady GaGa on the Red Carpet for the MTV Awards show last night. Which I thought was quite unlike Lady GaGa, to miss an opp to strut a Red Carpet. Or miss an op to perform.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm... Perhaps Lady GaGa is so broken up, that HRH left her and went back home... Perhaps, poor Lady GaGa is just gaga with sadness and couldn't make a public appearance last night, because of this?
Oh no! What will happen to Lady GaGa's career? Now that she is bereft of HRH?!?!?! Ohhhhhh... What repercussions in the music industry, might this produce?!? Eeeeek!
Seeeeeeee! There could be more to this *cat tale(tail),* than has yet been written!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't mind at all if my boys slept until noon, as long as they slept through the night instead of having the all night meowfest.
time to get a dog, deb! :P lol
Ah, glad she is back....and yes, she is a cat....they are all the same. But we do love them so don't we :)
Cheers!
Perhaps meeting her half-way would smooth things over. Maybe her regular kitty food would seem more regal if she had a crystal bowl to eat it out of.
It's kind of hard to go cold turkey after so much adventure!
at least she's not hell bent on destroying your home like dexter is..on a fecking rampage..
