archive.lS may not function soon. -

Please do not use archive.lS mirror for linking, use others mirrors [.TODAY .FO .LI .VN .MD .PH].
.IS might stop working soon.

Something strange is going on at #ISNIC. They ask to prove the address, I do and they response that the domain will be deleted in 30 days.
It looks much like a hostile takeover by some experienced domain traders.

I'm unsure how this will effect current archive.lS links, but as said above they recommend using other mirrors.

I was actually just asking the staff about what to do with this lol I feel like this needs to be stickied or some shit because there is A LOT of content on this site which uses archive.md which will need to be re-archived if that's even possible. I dread having to go back and find my own stuff.

So do we need to fire up the X-Files theme yet?

All archive.md links are functional on any domain. Changing .is to .vn or .today ..etc shouldn't matter.

Try it with any archive.md link.

Man we have a lot of shit to re-archive if .is goes tits up

Perhaps we need a new archiving rule: Archive everything with more than one archive service

I don't think anything's happening to the archive itself, seeing as archive.vn / .today / .is are all the same archive, I think they've just lost control over one of their domains somehow. Still, if it's something super important, then archiving it more than once can't hurt.
