About this capture

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

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.

Collection: Archive Team: The Miiverse Reverse

Remember that one time Nintendo tried to build its own social network? Unless you had a Wii U, you probably don't -- but it was called Miiverse, and it was weird, awkward and kind of wonderful.

The odd social platform let users take screenshots in most Wii U and 3DS games (a feature otherwise missing from many of Nintendo's consoles, yet common on other platforms), chat about games with other users and draw fan art. But it wasn't long for this world. Late last year, Nintendo shuttered Miiverse -- but a group called Team Archive has backed up a whopping 17 terabytes of the Miiverse.

Introducing Archiverse -- a huge, searchable cache of Nintendo's now defunct social network. It seems like an odd thing to want to back up, but Miiverse was actually a pretty big part of the Nintendo community during the past generation.

Nintendo made announcements on Miiverse, and following each Nintendo Direct game reveal, the community would be flush with fan art and speculation. The social network even became a key part of some multiplayer experiences, embedding posts and drawings in the background of Super Smash Bros. levels or in the lobby of Splatoon (in fact, a basic version of Miiverse's art sharing feature lives on in the game's Nintendo Switch sequel, Splatoon 2).

It even had its own memes. You may have heard of the gamer who couldn't figure out why Samus -- who was mistakenly named "Metroid" in the post -- couldn't crawl?
