How do we go about backing up and preserving those notes? I had a sitecrawler program many yonks ago, around about that very same time, that could download any number of specified pages/"sub-url-addresses" from a website. Do such software still exist? Would something like that work on livejournal? Guess I'll have to do some research. I'd appreciate any participation and contributions from the floor as well.
I would guess that a new OutputDir might be an idea - lots of new oxp's: IronAss vols 1-4, Wyverns new additions, Montana's steady stream, etc. Can we include any of the oxp's which are not oxz's?

The indexer will cover everything that is distributed via the addons manager. I'd be surprised if OXPs were contained in that list, so someone would have to add that functionality.
Apologies for my spotty participation on my own thread. I can check in once a week on a sunday, but RL sometimes...
I have tried to capture https://oolite.livejournal.com/ by means of https://www.httrack.com/, but after about a week of more or less continuous downloading, and interruptions, and download sizes growing to more than 2GB, and then shrinking inexplicably down to less than 300MB again, and then growing again, and trying to adjust download settings more appropriately for greater efficiency, and retrying, and nothing but the oolite.livejournal landing page remaining accessible on my local HDD... I just gave up. Maybe, someday, I'll copy it all down on paper, by hand.
Going to follow up on the other leads you so kindly supplied here above.
Following some leads, I discovered, in Commander KZ9999's signature (last active 27 sep 2009) on these here Oolite bulletin boards a reference to https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... liteRS.pdf, which, on the second last page, in the bottom right-hand corner, indicates 'Inspired by the OoliteRS by Darkbee / another_commander / Commander McLane'.
Now, to track down them other commanders as well. ...or perhaps rather find a possible bulletin-board thread where the original OoliteRS might have been discussed.

That's too bad that no ingenious automated transcribing method presented itself. Since it's almost all just text on a calendar and very few of the media links have any of their original stuffing left, I can't see it becoming more than a light file. I might test myself and see if copypasting it to the wiki is too taxing..

I did try to send an email to an old Darkbee address, but sadly, it bounced
I was young, I was naïve. Jonny Cuba made me do it!

I did it, it wasn't too troublesome. The livejournal developer's journal is now backed up on Aegidian devlog.

Thank you, Commander Murgh! <o Great job!
I just discovered it yesterday myself, and being able to scroll through it smoothly, makes reading just that little bit easier. I also appreciate the appendices, in particular the todolist.
"It's that little bit 'extra'
that makes the ordinary
*extra*-ordinary!"

Gosh. Thank you for the appreciation (and prompting the process to get the transcription started with).
It was mostly an enjoyable little project, sniffing out what possibly might be hidden in the wayback archives, and a bit frustrating to have to accept all the things that weren’t stored in the wayback archives. A shame about quite a few images that it would have been nice to affix for posterity. I think I’m out of tricks to find more of them. Wayback has still some old screenshots from the mainsite and some of those may have been used in the log, but it now seems difficult to match them to the original context, so this aspect now seems lost.
But the original todolist was a pleasant reveal. When I remembered it, I hoped hard it had been archived. It’s a neat representation of GIles’ accomplishment and ambitions.
