Help needed: we're losing our old readings
Hi everybody,
as you perhaps know I'm working at backing up all of our past readings, so the sound files are kept at least. This hasn't been an urgent project before, but with the recent changes of LJ's TOS some people are deleting their journals, and other journals might have been deleted due to inactivity.
So I would like to ask you all for help:
*if you've done a reading for RLA in the past and plan to delete your journal, please let me or one of the other mods know so we might save your readings with priority. If you could postpone the deletion for a bit to help us, that would be awesome!
*if you haven't used your journal for a while, please log in and just post something so it's no longer inactive.
*if you know of someone whose journal is inactive or palns to delete their journal, and you can contact them, please spread the word!
I'm back as far as July 2012 with my backups, and here's the list of all readers who had participated from that date onwards. If you know others who aren't on the list yet, please let me know in the comments!
The striked trough names are deleted journals. I know rlaadmin's readings are lost, sadly, as they were done by voice post, but arcadiaego uploaded many of them and might have stored them on their computer. If any of you is in contact with them still, it would be lovely if you brougth us together, or asked them if they still have their readings.
addie71, aliena_z, arwen_lune, bjtp, bslarner, claudia603, cookiefleck, eldritchhobbit, elycia, frodosweetstuff, frolijah_fan_54, gini-baggins, golden80, goldvermilion87, grey_wonderer, hildigard-brown, kenazfiction, labourslamp, lbilover, luminousdaze, neurotictealeaf,pearltook1, raitala, rlaadmin, ringsreader, romeny, rogerpittman, serai1, tanis2014, tariana, telstar_gold, top_hatted_girl, tweedle_,
The following readers are active or we're in contact with them:
arcadiaego, belleferret, baranduin, curiouswombat, dreamflower02, ink_gypsy, lavendertook, moit, periantari, shirebound, singeaddams, vaysh, ysilme (formerly the_winterwitch),
Thank you all so much!
Edit: I added two more former readers, telstar-gold and moit. Singeaddams and moit's accounts are both flocked, so I can't make any backups.
Edit 2: I now went through all the old readings just to pick up names, so above are all of them. Can I say how much more in awe I'm now about the abundance of readers that have already participated? I already was when I joined, but so much more now. You all rock!!! (Now let's hope we manage to save as much of this as possible!)
Udate: some of the seemingly lost/deleted recordings are still existing and can be saved, thank you already so much! <3
