Hi. I'd like to give your site a good rating on mywot, but I cant find your privacy policy. This is a legal requirement, please add one / show a link to yours on your homepage.

Could you please try another argument for its usefulness? So far the proposal to host some foreign legal document looks like a bid to get a tattoo in an unknown language.

How do I find the hashtag of a selected region of text?

Can you add a note that you pass along X-Forwarded-For: <requester_ip> to the target sites in your FAQ? It seems worthwhile for full disclosure regarding privacy. Thank you.
ok

GET request for archiving web sites would be nice. Web Archive has this feature: web archive org/save/{URL} works easily. (I had to change typing url, because of, tumblr doesn't allow urls) I use archiveis because of it has more sophisticated features than Web Archive. Thanks for this nice tool.
GETs are disabled to prevent the crawlers (such as Googlebot) from making submits.

So I wanted to archive a page it asked me if the one form 2 yrs ago was obsolete I put yes only cuz that one looked completely different from mine. My actions didn't alter someone's previous archive correct?
yes, old archives are not altered.

Thanks for the outstanding service. I'm building a stand-alone archiving tool for "Web 2.0" pages which is heavily inspired by your approach. I know you mentioned repeatedly that the codebase is not useful out of context and I understand that, but I'd like to ask again just for the Javascript components, which are the ones that would be the most useful and portable, but also the trickiest to get right without iteration. Any chance I can reuse the website-specific plugins and/or the inliner?
Ironicaly, the JS part is the most useless one and not portable, it requires PhantomJS with many patches applied.

I almost completed chrome extension for you. I will release in a few days. Then I'll remind you.
Thank you!

Is there any way to donate directly to the site? I went to the donate page, and it took me to a charity, but I'd like to help out with costs incurred by what I imagine is a hefty increase in archiving over the past... oh, say 10 months
There is no way.
I do not know how to arrange it.
Accepting credit cards would require the incorporation and the accounting (this is costly, perhaps more costly than the expected amount of the donations).
May be Bitcoin is a solution?
Also you can support WebCite here: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/aQMp7 -
can you make the long, full memento URL for an archived page more prominent and copyable? the URL that goes /20150626003414/ whatever
ok, done.
if you have an idea how to design it better (I do not like the present solution), please, let me know.

Why the project isn't open source?
The codebase is far from the point where the open/close-source difference may even have sense; it is not in the form of a re-deployable product; besides the html standards (and big list of exceptions) the code reflects specific hardware and network, which pages are popular, the behaviour of the SEO-bots and the users (in order to tune the caching strategies), etc.
It would be a big work to create an alienable archiver (whether open or closed source) which anyone could set up on their own premises.
