FC2WEB has been running since 2001 and its loss without proper archival is going to be comparable to the shutdown of Geocities in terms of lost sources and dead links. A massive amount of information is going to disappear when FC2WEB goes and due to the language barrier a lot of people who may be impacted by this may not know until it's already gone.

I'm trying to archive what I can, and this is an open call that anyone with any interest in preserving Japanese web culture/online history in Japanese spaces/anime or JP video game fan culture/etc should try and do the same.
