Datasets
Each page on this site is rendered from one of these files. They are plain JSON, produced by scripts from the released world files, player files and statistics; the scripts and the raw scans (every sign, every container, every entity) are kept with the archive and can be shared on request through Add a Memory. Names are player names exactly as the server stored them.

The original files
The world downloads (the January 2015 release and the 2013 snapshots, about 6.5 GB) are on the front page; the forums are a static crawl under /forums/; town-hall and podcast transcripts are under /archive/transcripts/. Structured data (schema.org Dataset) on each page describes the file it uses; /llms.txt summarises the site for machine readers.
Terms
The underlying files were released by the server's administrator in 2015 with the words “you guys are welcome to do whatever you please with the maps and files.” The derived datasets here are offered in the same spirit; a link back is appreciated.
