On a given day I'm moving tens of thousands of items around to make them easier to find. I'm sure I'll get to your section sooner or later.
Are you involved with IA? I'm actually really interested in what your day to day looks like, could you share more?

#17Probably totally digress, but I wish IA can organize their digital library slightly better. One day I was checking some manga books by ISBN on IA just out of curiosity. And for some reason, it put the ISBNs for all the volumes of a manga into one single entry ( https://archive.org/details/isbn_1919979003907 , check "ISBN" metadata section) and unsurprisingly, the actual content is only one volume, vol.43 (not even vo…
A lot of the time the metadata accuracy is up to the original uploader. IA's upload system doesn't magically fill in all the metadata details for an item.

#19As far as I'm concerned the IA can stick this up their arse.
They REFUSE to acknowlege my request to have a personal website that they've managed to archive removed.
It's a person blog that I want online so I can give the URL to family and friends, but I keep it out of Google etc with robots.txt. But once during an upgrade of the backend software I stuffed up the robots.txt and they crawled it until I fixed it up.
Will they reply to my emails? They will not. I'm so frustrated, they just IGNORE emails.
Don't support these clowns.
