I'm not the only asking this question: @davewiner ~ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014341 and this thread by @petercooper http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014074 & thread by @simonw http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014257 what would it take to capture delicious? It's an important question on a couple of levels, because:

a) replacement services exist but nobody will pay, eg: ~ http://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/15552773542117376

b) and I remember the effort & fun it was to read about how Geocities was saved http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=903567 into http://www.reocities.com/ by @jacquesm http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jacquesm

c) and this effort, "Archiveteam! The Geocities Torrent" ~ http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/2720 all one terrabyte of data recovered.
