Preservation status
Two histories, preserved independently: Gerry's community conversations and Vanagon.com's website. Stored records are not proof of complete recovery. Original evidence stays separate from safe reading copies.
Archive recovery
Gerry recovery covers 1994 through the present, including 2026. There is no Gerry archive cutoff.
Message records include headers already indexed. Restoring an older message's body increases body coverage, not the total message count or the latest forum topics.

No new message body was recorded in the hour before this observation. Recovery may be waiting on source availability or retry limits; refreshing these statistics does not mean new bodies are arriving.

Nonempty-body counts indicate stored content, not independently verified archive completeness.
Beyond the message text

Occurrences retain their source message and revision. URL counts are not downloaded files, indexed pages, or unique byte hashes. A completed pass covers its checkpoint, not future arrivals.

Verification is recorded when private bytes are registered, not re-run by this page. Last recorded verification: 2026-10-20T23:57:21.381Z. Shared bytes keep separate source associations. Present-day source retrieval is not proof of what an image showed on the original posting date.
Local-only crawl attempts and unavailable-URL lists have not been reconciled into this public counter. External linked pages are discovered references until separate capture evidence exists; no full-page preservation total is claimed.

Background scheduling: enabled. Latest pass: scanning; last checkpoint . An enabled schedule does not prove that a worker is running right now.
Evidence values are not people or verified accounts. Archive profiles remain private unless the member explicitly publishes them. This status view never enrolls anyone, changes visibility, exposes contact details or sends email.
The original website
Vanagon.com recovery
Original routes, dated pages, images and resources. Missing years remain gaps; capture dates are not publication dates.
Updates every 30 seconds while this page is visible. Observed: .
- Stored captures
- 5,167
- Date targets waiting
- 36,658
- Processing jobs
- 0
- Rejected jobs
- 8
Last stored capture: 2026-10-27T00:03:15.918Z. Stored D1 capture records, not a fresh R2 audit or a completeness claim. Waiting jobs are URL/date targets, not unique files or confirmed missing captures. Total historical coverage remains unknown.
Last source response: HTTP 429. Consecutive failures: 3. Last successful source acquisition: 2026-10-27T01:26:02.000Z. Zero processing jobs during a source cooldown does not mean the queue was deleted.

How preserved pages are served
Original bytes remain separate from safe reading copies, with byte counts, SHA-256 checksums and source associations. Integrity is not proof of complete historical recovery. Status polling observes recorded work; it does not start crawling or publish private evidence.
