[game_preservation] Google Shutting down Lively

[Andrew Armstrong]

Yeah, certainly if I notice anything online, I'll post about it 
here.Keep an eye out everyone!

Defiantly, if it was longer running there'd be a better community and 
it'd be easier to go out and email those sites for help regarding this.

I very much doubt Google themselves would do much to help if contacted - 
generally their "dead" things really, really stay dead (see their Google 
Sync for Firefox, entirely binned, sigh), and they usually don't release 
much for historians. Might be worth a shot though, on the off hand :)
