Please help! Lost data!

[trickynick1001]

Hi Bulbapedia!

I'm really hoping that someone on this forum can help me, or perhaps direct me to somewhere or something that can.

My girlfriend (peanutbuttermewtwo) used to run a Geocities website, which I think was called Kokowa Dakoda. The url was something like www.geocities.com/kdmewtwo, I think. Anyway, I understand Geocities went out of business, or something, and now the site is gone.
She did have some backup of the site, but she's had some computer trouble recently, and she has lost the majority of that backup, too. Essentially what I'm getting at is: she has lost everything on this website that she spent the last decade amassing.

She had many images and references on her site, but what she wishes she could get back most are the essays she wrote for it. I was hoping that SOMEBODY might have saved any of these essays or documents, and could send them to me. She's already checked those "internet backup" websites, but they don't seem to have anything.

I know my chances are slim, but I've got to ask. She's putting on a brave face, but I know she's torn up about losing all that hard work. It would make her happier than I can explain if she got even a single article back from that website.

Thanks folks, for taking the time to read this!
Nick

Thanks for contributing.

And holy mother of fuck at geocities closing. That's like, internet history, despite being absolute garbage (earning its nickname geoshitties). Your best bet at getting the data back is through archive.org. If you can retrieve the exact name of the page, you just might be lucky enough to get most of the data back (I searched the one you linked, and it turned up nothing). Google's web archives might have some too. Aside from that, you're SOL.

Are you really only learning about it now? It shut down like, two weeks ago. We had a thread.

Oh I'm sorry. It's just that don't really give a damn about your *topics. Especially in a *board that is horribly named and described so that it gives off the impression that it is only a haven of mastermemtors. Which it probably really is.

No, really. I'm the lord of blogs, not an active poster.

Thanks for your help, people. I haven't found anything yet, but I'll keep looking.

Google may have indexed it and kept a copy in its cache. Google isn't loading for me now, so I can't test it. Try it! Or other search engines (yahoo!?)
