Data loss describes how inaccessible the contents of the archive are.
Data loss describes how inaccessible the contents of the archive are.
- None: the resource is still up and live; nothing is missing.
- Minor: the resource may be missing the odd image or link, but is overwhelmingly still intact; you might lose some frills but can still get what you need
- Medium: Some is there, some is not. A mixed-bag.
- Major: Barely anything remains of this archive. This is the "well, there's a URL in the Wayback Machine and one grab of one page."
- Complete: The only reason we even know this stupid thing existed is because someone else says so.
- Locked: the resource is still up and live, but not publicly accessible.
- None: there's no way to contact them at all. It's a static site with no contact info.
- Private: the only way to contact the person is through publicly invisible means, such as email, PM, or DM.
- Delayed: interaction takes place in public, but not in real time (guest book, forums, blogs...)
- Real-time: interaction takes place in public and is expected to be responded to quickly and with an offline rhythm (chat, IM, Second Life...)

Archives must have been inactive for at least five years. (Unless they are books or other analog media that aren't liable to change drastically or disappear quickly.) This is to avoid the problem of new sites popping up like toadstools and disappearing just as quickly.

About: Once the biggest, most active multiplicity community on Livejournal. Fifteen years of interactions between multiples, soulbonders, midcontinuums/medians, gateway systems, spiritual systems, natural multiples, and so on. As far as I know, Livejournal is where soulbonders (and their philosophy regarding fictivity and media) started getting incorporated into what later became greater plurality. Created by someone from the old darkpersonalities community.

H.O.P.E., by various (1999-2002)
Dec. 7th, 2022 03:50 pm"Our purpose is to improve things for alternatives, by creating and providing resources for them, networking with both alternatives and mainstream society to improve relations, and to keep an eye out and get involved in activism when it is needed" (H.O.P.E., 2001, April 22b, paragraph 3).
"Below is a list of offenses which are against HOPE policy. [...]
5.) Failure to Destroy Paperwork
7.) Making Public Statements About HOPE without Authorization
14.) Unnecessary/Excessive Use of Violence
39.) Endangerment of Life" (2000, April 26)
( I just thought I was doing a little listing, and hours later I feel like I've found myself at the bottom of a well. )

"Wow. None of us have ever gone this far into detail about the inner workings of our system. It’s amazing what anxiety and desperation will do."

Source Name: D.I.D., A Legitimate Diagnosis: A Spiritual Healing
Creator/s: Candace "Candy" Little
Years Active: 2004-September 2015
About: Personal website of a Christian woman with DID. Includes pages with resources, her story, poetry, photos of her family and pets, and links to her book, Tormented Souls Within, on Amazon. Has a forum which is completely lost, and the guestbook is gutted, but the main website is in very good shape; most of the images even still work!

Notes: Her copyright info says 2000-2018, but the earliest activity that's archived is the guestbook from 2004, and the last update on didlegit.com and the bravesites version is from 7/26/2015. Both websites are gone by January 2018, so abruptly that I wonder if Ms. Little died.
Her page on how memories can become unraveled into constituent sensations, thoughts, feelings, and narrative memory, all of which may or may not trigger the others, remains useful today. I haven't seen many other people discuss that (Memories, 2018). Her therapy page is also decent introductory advice (Psychotherapy for Dissociative Identity Disorder, 2018).
