This Google Chrome browser extension automatically sends incels’ forums’ webpages to online archival services! Archiving is permanent! Use this software responsibly!
DIRECTIONS to INSTALL
Q&A
Q : Why archive forum pages?
A : In case the feds shut the site down.
I know that using services like the Wayback Machine keeps our stuff on the public web where everyone including the feds can see it, but it’s not as bad as losing everything on the site and having nothing left.
A better solution is to have a group of users download the site themselves so that it isn’t on publicly accessible archives, but we don’t have such a team of trusted users (yet). These users have to have colossal volumes of hard disk capacity.
A downside to the extension is it only archives pages that the extension’s users visit, and this means that it doesn’t back stuff up recursively. So, although storage space isn’t an issue in the extension strategy, fewer webpages get saved this way. The more people install the extension, the more we can archive.
And archival systems may block individuals for sending too many requests. The more people install the extension, the more we can archive.
USAGE GUIDE
This extension does not crawl. Just going to “Best of the Best” doesn’t do the job. Click into all the “Best of the Best” threads to save them.
