I always have a lot to do in my life. I'm literally never bored. However now I'm not really feeing very motivated to do a lot more work for this, on top the hours I've already spent on this.

Indeed. I am a completely self-taught web master (web novice really). The Library of Fanmade Documents is my current level of capability in web building, and it took many, many hours of work. Long ago I built web pages slightly more advanced (sites which also only survive through the Wayback Machine). If someone handed me functional HTML files of the main page and all the other pages (or even most), I could saved them all in the proper folder organization and upload them one-by-one to build a site which I'm guessing would be a little more complex than the Library. But I would still have to dig through the HTML coding on every single page and update all the URLs, which would still take a lot of time.
Since this archive does not seem as appreciated as I thought it would be, I don't know that it would really be worth it to spend all the time needed to rebuild this properly.

I actually appreciate the archive. Though I don't visit it often, I'll occasionally remember there was something there that I needed, and I'm glad to have it there when I want it.
