Megaupload, the state of the Archive, and Podbang

[podmod.livejournal.com]

As you may be aware, Megaupload was shut down Thursday and all links to files hosted on the site are no longer viable. Some of you used Megaupload to host podfic, and most of you use some kind of temporary file host.

If anyone has lost their podfic to Megaupload (or through file deletion of any kind) and no longer have a copy of your work, we would like to help you recover it. Please leave a comment here and let us know what you're missing (and where it's been posted) and we will do our best to find someone who downloaded it and still has a copy.

If you see a request in the comments and you have the file someone needs, please help them out! And if your only copy of your podfic exists on a filesharing site, please back it up! We don't want anyone to permanently lose their fanwork. <3

After the Archive's temporary downtime last year, it came back up for a bright, shining moment, during which the archivists were able to work for, oh, 48 hours? And then the Archive broke itself once more (at least the front end still works this time? mostly? :D?).

Professionals are now being talked to in order to get the Archive up and running again. We hope to have a resolution soon.

Sadly, Podbang 2011 did not grow wings, but we're thinking ahead to Podbang 2012! Sometime soon we'll be querying the comm about changes we're looking at making to the challenge.
