It's been long enough since I've been on digg that I don't have the same email address.

I'd much prefer if they provided the data to the internet archive rather than one-by-one providing information to users.

This. Give it to Archive.org and let them have their way with it.

well... idk about just giving away peoples private messages, and personal communications. But yes, anything that was public and linkable on the site should obviously still be available for posterity sake. I get the impression this initiative is to get users back their personal information from the site.

Hopefully they're still planning to also make the rest of the public content accessible as a mirror somewhere.
