Honestly , I didn't even know about this site till today! So if enough donors hit the site to pick up at least $6K, will that site stay online? ..cause I will definitely donate...no questions....just not all of $6K/month...that is crazy...

Too late now. There is a subreddits trying to archive it all though. Owner of Internet Archive doesn't seem thrilled about it though.
