So we need to save Padmapper which scrapes data from Craigslist.

That is fine with me, but let me asks this: if I start a web site which scrape all Craigslist data would you guys back me up? If not, why not?

Depends on how useful you are. Many scrapers are just putting out BS search engine bait. PadMapper created a great interface on top of CL's data, which created huge value for CL users.
