It's time, my archivist friends... This thread is going to be a long one.
During a good portion of this year, I have been working along with BicPenLysolWipe on the biggest archive of Worlds.com related websites throughout history (which hasn't been publicly released yet! - because we're not done lol). While we were researching, I would explore old worlds in order to find websites, and while I was doing this, I came across a LONG list of .worlds files that are apparently lost forever.
I have done everything I could think of in order to find them, but I thought maybe someone would be interested in helping us grow the archive of worlds. The biggest problem I came across was that a lot of people back in the day would use lycos.co.uk or prohosting, and I can't find any archives of it at all.
This is the list of files I was NOT able to find, so if any of you do... Of course let me know!
