We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

[Guide] for scriptbin.works archivists (sh.itjust.works)

If you're archiving a scriptbin.works script url(or a user profile url) to the wbm or elsewhere, append ?__termsofaccessagree=y to it. This skips directly to the actual script, so the actual script is captured.
Important: The creator of scriptbin also told me to NOT use that suffix when "normally" sharing script urls, as that will be problematic for scriptbin.
In other words, ONLY use ?__termsofaccessagree=y suffix for archiving purposes.
Now that you know this, if someone else asks you about it, DON'T just comment "Append ?__termsofaccessagree=y " and walk away.
Be a good steward of the internet and also mention the aforementioned warning along with your comment.
To reiterate the warning, DO NOT use that suffix for regular normal sharing of scriptbin urls. That suffix is only for archiving purposes.

Have fun archiving.
Cheers!
