I was thinking about this, as well. Maybe we could each take a portion of the archives to save, unless someone, or several of us, have the space and/or resources to save the whole thing. I haven’t looked into how large they are.

Not exactly looking to acquire a domain but would happily help collectivize, own, manage, etc, if that’s what it takes to keep the listserv online.
