Before we import an archive, we’ll post an announcement on the AO3 News blog, TransformativeWorks.org blog, OTW News by Email, and OTW’s Tumblr, Bluesky, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Dreamwidth and LiveJournal accounts. We will also encourage the maintainers of the archive we’re importing to publicise the import on the old archive (if feasible) and in other venues where they believe affected users will see the news. Since at-risk archives are often older archives where many users have moved on and/or changed their contact details, we can’t guarantee that everyone affected will know ahead of time, but we’ll do our best to make sure people are aware.
