If you've been trying to get to the Jinjurly Audiofic Archive, please note that it is down at the moment.  The website itself is up and running, but the DNS registration - the only part that we do not control, has expired.  I've contacted the owner of the domain, and asked them if they can pay the registration -or- transfer the domain to me and I'll register it.  However, we have to wait on them before anything can happen.

In the meantime, please be aware that this is very much not like last time the Archive went down; there are no files lost, we're not hacked, and everything is safe & sound.  We're developing a contingency in case we don't get the domain back.

Please be patient with us!  Let us know if there are any questions.

edit: We're back!  Registration updated & things should be working again.

First of all, thanks to morgandawn  for pointing out that we've been doing this for less than 48 hours and already have 20% of the items in the spreadsheet located.  THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I wanted to give a quick update.  As you can probably tell, we're inundated.  Not only do we have the ~1,000 entries in the spreadsheet to deal with, I personally have been given access to like 100Gb worth of data, and that is great.  We can definitely use this!  However, we (mific and myself) need to balance new requests coming in to post podfics, and the thousands of found entries.  Plus, for me, my job just told me I'll be kicking back in tomorrow, so that means I'll have less time to work on the archive.

If you have new podfics to add, please use this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGu7WMLpa-Jxef2qubxZXUU3fz50UddzFbsxG2SG06IH6hdA/viewform

A few people have given me data dumps, which is great.  But the thing is, these data dumps sometimes contain hundreds of files that are either already in the archive and are not missing, or aren't eligible to go into the archive because we don't have permission.  I'll eventually be digging through all this data to see if there's stuff that we can use, but because it's such a huge trove of data, it's going to take time that we don't have at the moment.  So datamining will have to go to the bottom of the list.

If you can find things on the spreadsheet and let me know where they are, that is amazing!  And if you have a trove of stuff, that's amazing, too!  But right now we need to focus on what's in the spreadsheet to get stuff done.

Back to it!

So Squidge has hosted the Jinjurly audio/podfic archive for a couple of years now, but have only recently taken control of the day-to-day stuff tha needs to be done.  And if you know anything about the Jinjurly archive, you might know that it was hacked a while back, which resulted in the loss of many, many podfics.

Between mific  and myself (squidgiepdx ) we have recovered a number of files for the archive.  These are mostly SGA, but those do make up a significant part of the archive itself.  We've also been revamping things here and there.

Two big things to note: First, if you want to submit something to the archive there is a new form (click here) to submit items!  It'll be embedded in the site soon.

Second thing, if you need to reach us, you can email [email protected] and one of us will get back to you.

Please note: Because so many files are missing, we're going to ask the community to see if they have replacements.  That will be forthcoming in the next while (could be days, could be weeks).
