john,

I am so so so so truly grateful you thought to keep, preserve, and protect hard drives. Sometimes big sites procedurally forget we loyal users care(d) what we saved and want a copy, if before it dies. It matters.

We really care about what we said. If why we like Xanga includes because you care to show what we say, we do care about what we say and we do care about you.

Please do not force people to pay with content-death for writing together here and getting older, because I feel positive people will gladly help you pay for it (monetarily and with organic valuable words), if you continue to ask, express, and advertise your interest in support for preserving your community.

(People might like to find more about you. i found your old xanga and CrunchBase. i tried linkedin and twitter, & i am sure i am not alone in looking for more about you, and if so maybe more of us could connect to help and grow support?)

If real and human costs are too great, please think about archiveteam & archive.org et al.

Please help make sure we can still remember our xanga in our lives. :)

grateful,
gabriell con(tech)text(e

p.s. i like kmgeekintraining grew up to use your Xanga, for me some important if not honest feelings. So if as we remember it again, i wish we could show some pride and (data) integrity, and connect it with our lifeblogs, if not link it with our lives now.

I would also like to have a copy of my old posts, if possible! :) Thank you sooo much!
