There is no IA community, so I thought you all might be interested.

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Kind of wish there was an IA community. I would join that.
Oh they are back up again!
What do you think, could this have something to do with the recent problems as IA? Or, is it possible at all that this is an error at the IA?
Still just read-only!
I can only theorize, but I doubt this specifically was the will of the malicious actors :)
Something definitely went wrong on their part, maybe even because of a DOS attack. Javascript-infested sites are anything but trivial to preserve anymore, but mixing it up like this is very unusual.
