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.

Hah, I just recovered some data from a banned account. It's kind of nice, because it at least contained my comment from when we sang Bohemian Rhapsody in the "Kid drugged up from dentist" thread.
Quite nostalgic.

Looks like it only has 2010+ data. It didn't give me anything older then that. :(
Edit: I take that back... submits go back further, and I see a lot of submits in my export that aren't mine.

They would have been better off not offering this feature at all, then half assing it like they have.
My account apparently has 0 diggs and 0 comments.
Seeing that some people are getting other peoples stories and comments in their exports...well thats just sloppy!
And still no commenting system? What is this, 1999?
Quickly losing faith in the new Digg, not that I care though and not that I ever had much faith to begin with.

it would be nice if they played up the option to import your data into pinboard or kippt, I almost didn't notice the links.
edit: nevermind, after you request the archive they have a much bigger page with more info: http://i.imgur.com/M7xIy.png

Hello. I am Jay Ridgeway. The person processing the historical digg data. If you did not receive the data you expected, please send an electronic mail to support@digg.com with a) your digg username or address and b) a description of the problem. I will see what I can do.

Looks like they still aren't able to get the old digg and comment information out. The returned JSON had stories I had submitted going back to 2006 but nothing else. Good on the new owners for at least giving this a shot though and letting people get something out.

Ummm, my data included 2 comments and four submitted stories that are certainly not mine: one on colon cleansing and three on flower related themes.
So the data is, shall we say, "incomplete" for comments and wildly wrong for submitted stories.

What they give you is very incomplete. Ironically all the data in my 'archive' was from 2010 right before the v5 collapse with all the stories about digg's own fate.

Digg is a perfect example of: "Don't fix it if not broken"
