I recently found this Kirby fansite called Meta Naito. I took a look at it and found that it's closing down for good on December 31st, which means we don't have much time!

Please help archive the site before it becomes lost forever!

Meta Naito

Use either to help you.

dogpolygonrt66 (quotes don't work properly on mobile): I know about this, but it's a large website so I need help archiving the site before it's too late.

Thanks for letting us know orphanedpixel! I'll do my best to back up whatever I can to prevent the site from getting lost. I hate to see a website lost to time and this is the first time I'm helping to archive a site. I'm looking at the site right now and have found that the fan art sections are inaccessible. Hopefully we can all work together to save the site from being lost to time.

A lot of the pages 404'd. I can get in contact with several admins via e-mail. I'll see if I can get them to restore the pages. Thanks for the help!

Looks like the games section is completely archived now (other than all the pages that simply state (under construction) because they are all duplicates)

Many pages of the site were seemingly shut down before we gained any access to them.

It's the 31st and we were already hitting a lot of dead ends.

I recently contacted the owner of the Meta Naito website and he just responed saying,

"I decided to go ahead and keep the site alive for another year or so as I need it for my resume as I am in the tech field and just barely graduating. So it will be back. Also someone has offered to host the site and take it over, so that might end up happening over the course of the next year. We will see."

This brings new hope that the website will stay alive!
