For how long will this website and the archives be available, how many people maintain this project?Thank you.

Forever. Actually, I think, in 3-5-10 years all the content of the archive (it is only ~20Tb) could fit in a mobile phone memory, so anyone will be able to have a synchronized copy of the full archive. So my “forever” is not a joke.
Two persons, currently.

Webcite has a comb feature where we can archive the links on a specific page. This comes in handy for some of my research papers. Is there an equivalent way to do this with archive. is?
Not yet.
You are the first person asking for this :)

your website has a list of personal identifying information (PII) including credit card info; who do i send legal correspondence to? Anonymous
You should contact the issuer bank to ensure they have the cards blocked. Banks can be found by the prefix of the card number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Issuer_Identification_Numbers).

where these information is saved. How can I retrieve a page that I have saved from my system? Anonymous
You can download a .zip file (there is a link in the header).

The Internet Archive and Webcite avoid copyright infringement prosecution because they have an automatic "opt out" feature which your site does not (see wiki/WebCite#Copyright_issues). Aren't you concerned about some major organization or corporation suing you or getting you listed as an international copyright pirate and your door smashed down in the middle of the night and all your computer equipment conficated? I'll understand if you'd rather consider this privately & not post it. Anonymous
It is difficult to use archive.is for pirating due to limited size of the page it can save. Of course, it is still possible, by UU-encoding a movie or windows.iso and then by splitting it into small parts. But there are plenty of convenient tools to do that, for example, the torrent trackers or mega.co.nz. Or even The Internet Archive and WebCite, because they can save big binary files.

Can your spider be stopped in a similar way as IA Archiver: "User-agent: ia_archiver Disallow: /" Thank you. Anonymous
There is no spider (as a machine which takes decisions what to archive).
All the urls are entered manually by users (or taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges, where they also appear as a result of user edits).
If the archive would check and obey robots.txt, then, if archiving is disallowed, the error should be seen to the user, right?
Then, on seeing the error, the user will archive the page indirectly, first feeding the url to an url shortener (bit.ly, …) or to an anonimizer (hidemyass.com, ..) or to another on-demand archive (peeep.us, …), and then archive the same content from another url, thus bypassing the robots.txt restrictions.
So, this check will not work the same way as it works with IA Archiver (which is actually a machine which takes decisions).

Where may I download the API/Source code to this site? Anonymous
It is not open source. May be I will release the current version as open source after switching to a newer one.
About API: you can submit a page by issuing a HTTP request with any suitable tool like curl or wget: http://blog.archive.is/post/45031162768/can-you-recommend-the-best-method-script-so-i-may-batch
It you need a more complex API, to perform searches, get answers in xml or json, etc, just let me know, I will implement it or find a way how to it.
