I am not as worried frantic about The X-Files fandom losing sites as I was with Geocities. We were everywhere on Geocities. But if you have the time to search your saved text files for FortuneCity URLs, you can either post them here or email them to my user name at gmail. We are most interested in saving the URLs for fan-generated content. Please pass on this information to other fandoms which might be affected.
My apologies to those I am spamming. But this search really is making a difference. I found an Internet archive copy of The Annotated Study Guide to The X-Files, which is like the coolest thing I've ever seen. I love obsessive people! (good thing, huh?) That place deserves its own entry at Fanlore.
FortuneCity—an early free website—went down suddenly in early May, taking with it a number of historical fandom websites. As with Geocities, there is an unofficial effort underway to at least document the URLs of the websites. With the URLs in hand, websites can be resurrected by plugging the URL into the WayBack Machine. But first we need to record the URLs - the Google cached versions will soon go away (some are already gone). More about this here.
If you want to help, head over to the Google spreadsheet, claim a fandom, read the instructions (second tab) and pitch in. If you don’t have time to grab the URLs from Google, we definitely need help adding the ones we have gathered to the FortuneCity Fanlore page.
