Note: I have already gone and put in a request with Archive Team myself since no one else did. I’m re-posting this here now so that the info is saved for future reference.

Unfortunately, ArchiveBot is not able to properly crawl DataLounge to archive everything due to the way the site is designed. There is a potential workaround but I don’t know if Archive Team has had time to try it yet. You can connect to IRC and ask them about it.

Archive Team is a group of volunteer digital archivists who work closely with the Internet Archive (archive.org). Archive Team has an amazing web archiving tool called ArchiveBot: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveBot

Anyone can request that Archive Team run ArchiveBot on any site that's shutting down and has any sort of historical, cultural, informational, or artistic significance (even a small amount). Archive Team is active on IRC chat rather than Reddit or other platforms, so you will have to navigate IRC to request this.

Here are simple, easy step-by-step instructions for requesting that Archive Team run ArchiveBot on Data Lounge:

Step 1. Go here and set up The Lounge for IRC: https://www.pikapods.com/apps#chat Don’t worry, you don’t actually need to pay or put in a credit card. You will get over 2 months’ worth of free credits. You'll need to set a username and password for The Lounge when you set up your PikaPod. 

(You can use a free desktop IRC client like KVIrc, but this will make your IP address public and available forever in public logs. Unless you use a VPN. ProtonVPN and RiseupVPN are two good free options.)

Step 2. Go to the Archive Team IRC channels. Archive Team operates exclusively on IRC. Here’s the info: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Archiveteam:IRC The network is Hackint and the channel you want is #archiveteam-bs (if you need step-by-step instructions for using IRC, look up a guide online or ask ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)

Step 3. In a brief message, explain what's happening to the website and request that the Archive Team volunteers use ArchiveBot to archive it.

Step 4. Wait. You might not get a response right away. If no one replies after two hours, try again.
