The British Library has begun "harvesting" the internet to preserve billions of web pages, blogs and e-books which appear on the UK's web domain.

unfortunately STW is on .com so the literary gold that is the forum wont be archived 🙁

To think they've already missed such gems as picolax, badger-no-tubes, many flounces and the Big Cull.

"The regulations now coming into force make digital legal deposit a reality, and ensure that the Legal Deposit Libraries themselves are able to evolve - collecting, preserving and providing long-term access to the profusion of cultural and [u][b]intellectual[/b][/u] content appearing online or in other digital formats"

Maybe they dont mean the forum then...

Whatever happened to the original ST forum? Is it still lurking in a dusty server somewhere in the ST office?
