Master server archive project
Greek2me:
I think Fluff is right that Kalph has a very large archive. Nice work though.

Didn't Blockland Cloud Kalphiter do this once?
I really don't see this useful, but it is interesting.

I don't think 2 GB a year is a lot.

Do you know what compression is? Do you realize how many repeat sequences of text there are in 1440 minutes of server lists?
I posted them here but haven't updated it for awhile. The format I used was simply the entire list saved minute-by-minute. A better approach is a "delta list" which involves recording only the changes from the previous list, however that would make it progressively computationally expensive to construct server lists closer to the present.
I meant to do something interesting with this data but never got around to it.

16235 Dr.Diep
18114 Hair
43160 Blockland43160
How did I figure this out?
I have complete server history logs going back almost 2 years. I simply searched them to find out if Blockhead43160 had ever hosted a server in that time period. He did, so I searched again but with Blockhead43160's IP. He's had that IP since at least February 23rd, 2012.
