Vaosu | 104 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have also fully backed up the database. As in, literally downloaded the entire thing. Does http://web.archive.org/ have it? Yes, but is it complete with all images and working links? I'm not sure. So I made sure mine is. It is perfectly legal to download bits and pieces of websites, but illegal to host them / distribute them. Could they IP ban for using so much bandwidth? Possibly, but they apparently have left the old NA to rot, so I don't think that is likely. I intend to back-up The Brewery, Protoculture, and the Help Wanted forums as well. This is the enormous size of the database, with all pictures (including manuals): 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would like to back it up as well, just to have as many copies out there as possible. Once we figure out where to store it then we can go from there.

Takes a bit of figuring out with filters (so it doesn't download the entire internet) and command-line configuration to disable security measures which limit the speed and amount of connections.

Otherguy | 1 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Will go collect still host the databases and others nintendoage previously hosted? Will they ever let us know when they'll be up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I encountered an issue with link depth. With 900+ pages per subforum listing threads, HTTrack would only grab so much for me. I played around with the settings but could not grab any complete subforum, only threads listed on the first few and last few pages (since “last” is linked from the first page). I considered trying from deeper in the indexes, but haven’t had the time and somewhat lost inclination. After multiple attempts from different points in the listings, 2 full days and change apiece with the maximum number of connections, it’s a PITA. Maybe you’re already aware of this hurdle, but I’d suggest to audit what you’ve already got if you haven’t yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I can't access the old server ip anymore (http://74.86.217.179/). I was hoping they forgot about it, but it looks like it's dead for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not count on getting an answer anytime soon, if ever. They can't even get a functional forum working. Nor do they seem eager to provide information on their future plans. If you want a games database, I suggest you look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not very communicative, and they're not interested in providing much of anything to anyone when they do answer. It's probably a dry well.
