I thought they were doing a complete data dump into the Internet Archive.
Are you sure that the pictures you are viewing are genuinely up to date? as the 'ogs site is so heavily reliant on JS and dynamic content now I dont know if everything really is being archived by the waybackmachine
One thing that I did notice is trying to access information on the archived Bookogs site is a hit and miss affair.
I had a quick look at my recent contributions and everything seemed up to date, including the images. I might add that I stopped contributing the day the announcement was made to close the site which is 36 days ago.
If Bookogs ever gets imported in, how will duplicates be handled? Obviously, there will be many duplicate works. Will it be up to us, the users, to discover duplicates over time and do the necessary merges?
Bookogs are amusing even post mortem. Today I finally received from them a data export which was in fact just a few lines of totally unfamiliar contributions. Meh.
Considering how Discogs is treating their marketplace sellers at present, you’re lucky to get anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if Discogs is put up for sale in the next year or two (that’s if they haven’t completely alienated everyone in the interim).
