Been a frequent visitor of this site for many years. Sad news but I'm happy the content isn't gone forever

Oh, no. I've followed this site for the past 20+ years (back when it was still called the Whirlpool) and I've always enjoyed seeing what kind of hacks or translations people release. I'll really miss this site. I am truly sad about this.

It seems like the Archive.org .zip dump's "size" is just 12580366816. I assume that's bytes, which is only 12½ GB. That seems way too small to include all the romhacks, doesn't it? I thought a lot created assets and HD textures and such. But that also seems like way too much to just be website data, and most hacks are tiny files.

Does anyone know what's in that data dump? I'm tempted to download everything, even though I'd only ever use a miniscule percentage of it.
