Another fucking forum, another fucking bullshit we are going to make you pay but we don't really want to honest.

Prior work

Previously a minor grab was done to test the feasibility of grabbing Xanga. This can be seen on the Internet Archive.

What now?

The project for the warriors has been resurrected.

The list of usernames that is present on IA has been loaded and is currently being crunched while we try to collect as many usernames as possible.

Current upload location is only IA


How can I help?

1. Run the task in the warrior

2. Help collect usernames:

git clone https://github.com/djsmiley2k/smileys-random-tools
mkdir ./xanga
cd ./xanga
nano -w ../get_xanga_users
(Set value of grab in line 14)
../get_xanga_users

Allow the script to run, it'll continue to grab files.

When your ready, run the grep command found in the script to get the usernames and then place into pastebin and let an admin know to add them to the tracker

grep command -> grep "created by" -r ./* | awk -F "<" '{print $3}' | awk -F\/ '{print $3}' | awk -F. '{ print $1}' | sort -u

Mark below which ID ranges you are working on, so we don't just duplicate all effort.
