As for mirroring the forum online, that's definitely not legal.

And:
Proprietary Rights
The Internet allows people throughout the world to share valuable information, ideas and creative works. To ensure continued open access to such materials, we all need to protect the rights of those who share their creations or information with us.

Richarddawkins.net expects that you will not use the service to violate anyone's copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights. By submitting material to richarddawkins.net, you are representing that you are the owner of the material; are making your submission with the express consent of the owner; or have legal authorisation and/or rights to submit any non-owned property.

In the interests of transparency, the maintenance of a high standard of debate and compliance with copyright law, all quoted texts must be presented as such and attributed to a source to avoid confusion over authorship. Therefore, you must provide links to online sources or list author, title, and edition copyright when quoting from printed literature. The onus is on you to ensure that you have copyright permission to copy text from articles, in situations where fair use does not apply.

Disruption of Service
Richarddawkins.net takes any disruption of richarddawkins.net and its interests very seriously. Any attempts to disrupt the site, server, features or resources will be investigated, documented and recorded by our security team. A suspected security violation will result in the documents, logs and other communication exchanged between parties (including e-mails, Private Messages or recorded phone calls), used as evidence to support criminal prosecution and/or civil action(s). Richarddawkins.net will work in conjunction with Internet Service Providers; local, state or federal law enforcement and our attorneys, to identify any persons using cloaked or proxied IP's in an attempt to access or disrupt the site anonymously. Along with all evidentiary materials, offending parties will be identified and reported to authorities. Legal remedies for any/all damages will be vigorously pursued.

Use of Materials
Although we make richarddawkins.net freely accessible, we don't intend to give up our rights, or anyone else's rights, to the materials appearing on richarddawkins.net . The materials available through richarddawkins.net are the property of richarddawkins.net or its licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. You are free to display and print for your personal, non-commercial use information you receive through richarddawkins.net but you may not otherwise reproduce any of the materials without the prior consent of the owner. You may not distribute copies of materials found on richarddawkins.net in any form (posting on other websites, by email or other electronic means), without prior permission from the owner. However, links to richarddawkins.net are always appreciated and welcome.

Material Submitted
All materials, photos or videos you submit to any of our forums and other public posting areas become the property of richarddawkins.net and may be reproduced, modified and distributed by richarddawkins.net without restriction, in any medium, and for any purpose. Posting of any material on richarddawkins.net gives expressed waiver and release of any/all rights, legal, moral, or otherwise, to said material(s). (Embedded or linked images/videos hosted elsewhere do not count as submitted material.) You may edit posted material for up to 48 hours after it is initially posted, but you may not edit posts to such an extent that it substantially alters posts to which others have responded.

Ain't there a discrepancy between Proprietary Rights and Material Submitted?

OK thanks, I hope someone will bring it to Melbourne and we can copy it on to our laptops. Set up a special table in the foyer.

I understand from another thread it is around 10 Gig, sounds small, but maybe that is with compression ?

I hope this can be addressed in Melbourne, maybe with a web feed ?

Why not? What if we were given specific permission from RD.net, rather than the general vague agreement currently in place?
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

The text version of an offline Wikipedia including all articles (I have it on my iPod) is only a little bit bigger than the text version of RDF.
So much for 10 Gig sounding small ;)

Actually, that might be interesting data to send to Richard Dawkins.. I mean, to make him aware of exactly what amount of information is being spilled down the drain. Sure, not all of it is of the highest quality, but the same goes for wikipedia.

Perhaps distribution through torrent with a private tracker is a good idea to distribute the archive?

???? How can that be? 10G is a hell of a lot of text, but it ain't gonna include the pics, and most definitely no videos. No pix beyond the avatars were stored at the site as far as I know, it was all links. If the links were good at RD.net they will be good in the mirror.

Then the RDF forums are actually larger than wikipedia interms of pure text, because while images are hosted on wikipedia they are only linked to from RDF. I must have hotlinked to shitloads of images on wikipedia from RDF myself, sorry wikipedia :biggrin:

Will we just be torrenting the backup please? I'll seed, I'm completely satisfied that there are no copyright issues with passing a static local backup around the former members and in any case, that cunt Josh would have to get in line behind the MPAA RIAA and everyone else before he gets to my door :lol:

Mindful of the fact that people are anxious to preserve what they can of the forum before it is finally consigned to oblivion in its current form, I won't be performing any deletions. Not least because I've written so much over there that if I start making deletions, the huge hole of empty space on the hard drive will become noticeable immediately. :mrgreen: Plus, I have no intention of making Josh's stated intent to become the new Bishop Cyril of Alexandria any easier.
