thank you (boosts very appreciated)
@eq https://pexels.com may be happy to have them. Just be aware most of the images there are CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) and therefore can be for any use and no attribution required.
@TheOuterLinux i think the archiveteam will be able to handle distribution of the items already. the main problem is the actual archival lol
@eq Well, I've owned a website before and it shouldn't be too hard for them to just backup their own data base files and figure it out later, wether they're self hosting or paying someone else. Owning a website is getting to be a pain for little traffic. I've learned it's much better to get a .io static website or repository from places like GitHub or GitLab and then you have SSL and pretty more storage than you'll ever really need, all for free. You can self host GitLab too.
@TheOuterLinux yes, but 500px isn't archiving the thing. they're just shutting it down without warning.
If they wanted to continue hosting the content, they would. They don't, so that's what the archiveteam is for
