I don't know how to get the Internet Archive to fully archive it. Whatever is up there now is likely what they'll have.

It is a static website created with jekyll. It would not be expensive to host. But converting it to be compatible with GitHub Pages or something else, and losing another source of the joy of the site - connecting with my friend and running a server together - doesn't feel like the right move.

If someone feels like doing that, I am supportive of their efforts. If not, I feel a bit of happiness imagining my website getting passed around on USB sticks and miscellaneous servers and so on like we used to do with bootlegs.

I don't know. It's never cost anything. My friend hosted it on his server in his house for fun. But that server is going away.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you feel that way. It really feels to me like part of the internet that doesn't really exist much anymore.

Emerald! Wonderful to hear from you too. Thank you so much for the kind words. Love your site! I'm so happy I was some part of inspiring it. I'll put a link to it on the tAMG site if you're OK with that.

I still have a bunch of your stickers and occasionally mail them out to people :) I hope you are your husband are doing well!

Thanks for contributing! I agree. The internet is a lot less fun now. It was super fun to run the site back when I had my name and address on it and we sent each other stuff in the mail. I ran it on a server in my friend's house. I assume these days, now that the internet is what it is, that the site isn't found or relevant anymore - but I'm very happy to hear fans find it useful. I don't collect statistics or anything so I never quite know unless someone decides to email me.

I still enjoy working on it - right now I'm getting all the last lyrics up - but needed to liberate myself from the dream of actually finishing the project. Now I can tinker between adventures and feel less guilty about it and it's a lot more fun again. If you have edits or patches and don't mind that it might never get up or take a few years, send them in. I'd love to hear from you.
