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.

'Nu poti sa bati la usa oportunitatii si sa nu fii pregatit'
The point is that I don't really know the mechanism by which my thoughts are sent, knocking more or less discreetly at the door of my mind. I don't even open it. They simply appear and I have to manage and sort them. In the end, I realize that most of them are just repetitions, which I keep trying to get rid of and they stubbornly persist in appearing annoyingly repetitive. I want to somehow solve this blocking thing. After all, there are countless methods. However, I haven't discovered the perfect solution yet. But they say in books that I will find, searching, so I don't panic. I relax and persevere...😊
'Cand trecutul bate, nu raspunde. Nu are nimic nou sa iti spuna'.
Ideea este ca nu stiu cu adevarat mecanismul prin care imi sunt trimise gandurile, ciocanind mai mult sau mai putin discret la poarta mintii. Eu nici nu o deschid. Pur si simplu apar si eu trebuie sa le gestionez si triez. In cele din urma constat ca majoritar nu sunt decat reluari, de care tot imi dau silinta sa scap si ele se incapataneaza sa apara enervant de repetitiv. Vreau sa rezolv cumva chestia asta blocanta. La urma urmei metode sunt nenumarate. Totusi solutia perfecta inca nu am descoperit-o. Insa se spune in carti ca voi gasi, cautand, asa ca nu intru in panica. Ma relaxez si perseverez...😊
'Cereti si vi se va da, Cautati si veti gasi, Bateti si vi se va deschide'.

'Mahnirea nu se termina niciodata... Dar se schimba. Este o trecere, nu un loc incare sa stai. Mahnirea nu este un semn de slabiciune sau o lipsa de credinta... Este pretul dragostei'.
Inevitably we experience moments full of grief. Emotional or physical, our own or others'. And then, if this happens anyway, I started to wonder at some point if, apart from enduring the suffering and repairing any damages, I could do something useful to overcome unpleasant situations. And looking for possible solutions, I discovered that there are other approaches, focused on clearing the mind by managing strong emotional reactions. A clear mind can decipher the reasons why something happened,
understand the possible lesson that I had to learn and if there is an inevitable that I could not have changed by anything anyway. It seems to me extraordinarily important to understand the cause of a process, of an event. And especially if I have also made a contribution to it. In this way, if it is not too late the discovery, I can bring a correction, an improvement, a possible subsequent avoidance of a similar moment. I started to believe in the idea that life sends me lessons, at different times. And from the moment this happened, my reporting on events automatically became different. Instead of victimizing myself, I become aware that I am a student in the bank of life. And this change of attitude generates many good things, from reducing grief,
to discovering solutions. And what seems even more important to me, tempering emotions and fears.
On February 4th, the Year of the Fire Horse begins. It was also 60 years ago, in 1966. Even if this is another topic, I understood that it is an year characterized by a lot of dynamism and during it our intentions
could manifest much faster. So it is worth focusing on solutions and good thoughts and avoiding anchoring in the grief of the past or the fear of the future, because only in the
present we can solve things faster.
'Nu plange pentru ca s-a terminat. Zambeste pentru ca s-a intamplat'.
Inevitabil traim momente pline de durere. Emotionale sau fizice, ale noastre sau ale celorlalti. Si atunci, daca asta se intampla oricum, am inceput la un moment dat sa ma intreb daca in afara de a suporta suferinta si de a repara eventuale daune, as mai putea face ceva util pentru a depasi situatiile neplacute. Si cautand posibile solutii, am descoperit ca exista si alte abordari, concentrate pe limpezirea mintii prin gestionarea reactiilor emotionale puternice. O minte limpede poate descifra motivele pentru care ceva s-a intamplat, intelege eventuala lectia pe care am avut-o de invatat si daca exista un inevitabil pe care oricum nu l-as fi putut schimba prin nimic. Mi se pare extraordinar de important sa inteleg cauza unui proces, a unui eveniment. Si mai ales daca mi-am adus si eu o contributie la el. In felul acesta, daca nu este prea tarzie descoperirea, pot aduce o corectie, o imbunatatire, o eventuala evitare ulterioara a unui moment similar. Am inceput sa cred in ideea ca viata imi trimite lectii, in diferite momente. Si din clipa in care s-a intamplat asta, raportarea mea la evenimente a devenit automat diferita. In loc sa ma victimizez, devin constienta ca sunt o eleva in banca vietii. Si aceasta schimbare de atitudine genereaza multe lucruri bune, de la diminuarea durerii, pana la descoperirea unor solutii. Si ceea ce mi se pare si mai important, temperarea emotiilor si a fricilor. Pe 4 februarie incepe Anul Calului de Foc. A mai fost si acum 60 de ani, in 1966. Chiar daca acesta este alt subiect, am inteles ca este un an caracterizat de mult dinamism si ca intentiile noastre s-ar putea manifesta mult mai rapid pe parcursul lui. Asa ca merita sa ne concentram pe solutii si pe ganduri bune si sa evitam ancorarea in durerile trecute sau in teama de viitor, pentru ca doar in prezent putem rezolva lucrurile mai rapid.

This game is hosted by Vinitha Dileep, on her blog 'Reflections' and I discovered it on Esha's blog. This time the word prompt is 'STIR', connected with 'NEW', 'SHAPE, 'ECLIPSE', from the missed games.
I start by wishing you dear thoughts at the beginning of the new year. May you be well with yourself and achieve what your soul desires. And look as high as possible, not necessarily to watch some special eclipse, such as the one of the moon in September 2025. Anyway, I did not see it or any portal, if it was formed on this occasion... But I had some curious thoughts. I wondered, what it would be like to be able to eclipse the thoughts that I do not like, until I manage to 'remove' them from the landscape and free my mind, to breathe a sigh of relief, that I am no longer jamming it with nonsense.
Perhaps the metaphor of the eclipse could be useful in certain moments, when everything seems to stir in a confusing and annoying way. Not only for thoughts, but also for the avalanche of information that covers reality, blocking any way to see the perspective. Even though sometimes I feel a kind of helplessness - failure to shake off the useless thrown over us, the desire to reach a place where I can see the clear horizon is stronger and my optimism increases...
If you wonder what those curious shapes represent, I will tell you. They are a few peas and their roots. I started learning about seed germination and I did some experiments, to complete our daily salad! 😊 There are many ideas for 2026. A new beginning divided into micro beginnings - experiments. At least that's how I feel that I'm not overwhelmed by too much, too complicated and so on...
Incep prin a va ura dragi ganduri la inceput de an nou. Sa fiti bine voi cu voi si sa realizati ceea ce va doreste sufletul. Si sa priviti cat mai sus, nu neaparat pentru a urmari vreo eclipsa speciala, cum a fost cea de luna din septembrie 2025. Oricum, eu nu ma vazut-o nici pe ea si nici vreun portal, daca s-a format cu acest prilej... Insa am avut cateva ganduri curioase. M-am intrebat cum ar fi sa pot eclipsa gandurile care nu imi plac, pana reusesc sa le 'scot' din peisaj si sa eliberez mintea, pentru a rasufla usurata, ca nu o mai bruiez cu prostioare. Poate ca metafora eclipsei ar putea fi utila in anumite momente, cand totul pare sa se amestece aiuritor si enervant. Nu doar pentru ganduri, dar si pentru avalansa informatiilor ce acopera realitatea, blocand orice cale de a vedea perspectiva. Chiar daca uneori simt un fel de neajutorare - neputinta de a ma scutura de inutilul aruncat peste noi, dorinta de a ajunge intr-un loc de unde pot vedea orizontul limpede este mai puternica si imi creste optimismul... Daca va intrebati ce reprezinta acele forme curioase, am sa va spun. Sunt cateva boabe de mazare si radacinutele lor. Am inceput sa invat despre germinari de seminte si am facut niste experimente, pentru a ne completa salata zilnica! 😊 Sunt multe idei pentru 2026. Un nou inceput impartit in micro inceputuri - experimente. Cel putin asa simt ca nu sunt complesita de prea mult, prea complicat, prea...
