Archiving DIYGoKarts

[Kartorbust]

In the event that DIY GoKarts has to be shut down permanently, is there a way to have this place just be a read-only, but also shows any pictures that are hosted on here? Would hate to see what 2 decades worth of useful information just vanish into the ether. Been seeing far too many forums just die off and all the useful and very niche information just remain with the members that shared it.

@twilliams11 is this possible to do?

Maybe look into this...

HTTrack Website Copier - Free Software Offline Browser (GNU GPL)

HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack...

Or I read that you can manually do it on waybackmachine.

Wayback Machine is a bit finicky I've found same with Archive.today. You have to go through each thread and Archive it, as well as each page. If you don't do each individual page, it does not go well. Plus also trying to make sure the search function works well.

Never tried HTTrack.

Tried using Wayback Machine last night again, to see what I can make it do. When the the site is on there, the search function for the site, Wayback Machine states that it has not been archived. Not sure if its a coding error or what.

Guys.... There is no talk about the forum being closed so I wouldn't worry too much about that now
