Is it possible to archive what little remains of the Wild West? I'm sad to see a social experiment go to waste.

I was planning on reading the thread on transgender people, but now it's gone.

:(

Instead of completely getting rid of it, the mods could just leave it there, closed, so people could at least read it I guess. I don't know why anyone would want to do that but hey.

I want that. There were good ask me anything threads. I'd be willing to compromise with the mods to open the wild west as long as death threats aren't allowed.

Not really sure why anyone would want to archive the internet equivalent of a trashcan.
There were a couple of few decent ask me anything threads. And a couple of links and info that I want to recover.

I want that too. I think it's the least the mods should do, after closing it on a whim with no warning.

Yeah, I was about to read the tranny thread, and poof, the whole place is gone.

Maybe there is some of it on the Wayback machine?
Wayback Machine can't archive anything that isn't on a publicly accessible portion of the site. Anything that requires a login to view will just get a 403 error.

Wild West isn't worth archiving, it was absolute trash and not in a good way

I've made the subforum available for browsing only, if you want to check out or save any threads.

Or we could all acknowledge that the Wild West was a mistake, and move on.

To people who only occasionally came in to say "This place stinks!", probably not, but to people who actively posted and participated in it, probably.

I haven't actually said anything like that in quite some time, but as it was a mostly a place for dicking around I still have to ask if there was anything actually worth archiving.

There's the solution, thread closed.
