Help Save the Dev Blags! (Wayback Machine, before they're gone!)

[Norpo]

You're probably aware that the forums are being updated on the 27th, and with it, the forum blogs will be removed.

Trouble is; over the years, the developers have used these blogs to talk about how they developed the game. Some of these range from mildly interesting; to very important. I need your help to track down all the dev blogs, and archive them using the Wayback Machine.

I've already done HarvesteR's blogs, but there are more. I need your help to:

A: Track down all the dev blogs. We have a deadline; November 27th!

B: Back up these pages by uploading them to the Wayback Machine.

C: Record your progress here.

How can I help?

It's very simple. Just go to the Wayback Machine site, and enter in the URL of the page you need to save at the top. There, it'll tell you if it's already backed up, or if it needs to be uploaded. If it's not uploaded, it'll say:

[quote name='The machine']Hrm. Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived. This page is available on the web! Help make the Wayback Machine more complete!

Save this url in the Wayback Machine![/QUOTE]

From there, just hit the link, and it'll be archived. Simple! Bear in mind, we need to archive the individual blog posts, not just the summary pages with 10 posts in them; those don't have the full posts!

Note, the progress lists have links to the archived Blog navigation pages, for easy access (as if the individual blog pages are archived, the navigation pages provide easy access)

[url]http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/blogs/21733-danRosas[/url] - danRosas's blogs. (IMPORTANT PICTURES!)
[url]http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/blogs/67937-Maxmaps[/url] - Max's two blogs. One is very cool.


That's all from Devs. The real question is are all of the Articles going to be transferred. Those have tons of info in them, I sure hope the transfer over.

NovaSilisko's blogs have also been saved.

I just archived them; That *should* complete the list!

Thanks for the help :)

Make sure you're posting content, and that it's on topic. This thread needs to move quick since the forum bonfire...I mean forum migration is just around the corner.

Good luck

Articles won't be saved! How do you access old articles? There are no pages or anything.

Use this search term in google to bring up all articles, I've gone through about four google search pages of articles.

Magnificent work guys.
Knowing zilch on forum software, I've got no idea if this change will really be worth it, but at least these important bits of history are saved.

Articles can be paged through by going to an author's profile, and clicking on their Articles link.

Very disappointed Squad written articles won't be preserved / transferred, for future ease of searching and linking.

I figured that out shortly after posting my previous post, :face palm:. I've gone through HarvesteR's, KasperVld's and Maxmaps' articles so far, working on Rowsdower's.

I've saved Rowsdowers', DanRosas' and Damion Rayne's articles. Also got C7's blogs. Edited November 27, 2015 by Robotengineer
