Not just ipernity!
Since 2005, I've been a member of the "Virtual Tourist" website, where people write and share detailed travel advice pages with photographs. Like ipernity, it had a very usable interface and there is an enthusiastic community. The image is a screenshot of my "homepage" there.
A year or so back, it was taken over by the "Trip Advisor" website. The format was changed to something I imagine was considered "more contemporary" and which de-emphasised personal pages to place more emphasis on outsiders asking inane questions such as "how do I get from the airport to ... (city)?" and hotel reviews. Like many others, I maintained a membership but reduced my involvement, spending more time on photography sites. Today I was gutted to receive advice that the VT site will close on 17 February, somewhat less notice than ipernity has given. With "Panoramio" recently closing, it seems there is a "fashion" to close community-based sites.
Anyway, many people on VT are concerned to capture the content they have published there over the years. Much as, I suspect, most of us here are concerned to save our "ipernity" content. Someone on VT has suggested the use of "web-creeper' sites/software, which can copy and save entire websites - the "Webreaper site in particular was mentioned - www.webreaper. net. (remove the space). I haven't tried it, but the introduction page looks interesting and I hope this may be useful to others here.

I've already used it to download whole my portfolio retaining its structure, comments, tags etc. Now I am only updating it the off-line mirror (HTTrack does it for me with no fuss).
