The older I get the more i realize stuff from just 10 years ago has been scrubbed from the internet. Web pages or boards, images and stuff. Search engines suck and it seems like things dont actually stay online as long as you might think. That can be a good thing but also pretty bad. Many images i used to see posted on image boards pretty commonly cant be found anymore. I think, if you like something a lot, try to save it, because the internet isnt as permanent as you think. ( ´_ゝ`)

Also, consider this: solid state media can lose data if left unpowered for long periods, its not ideal for archiving.

Correct, I somewhat pride myself in saving anything, my personal imageboard file archives only reliably date to 2019 and they are 880 GBs.

Especially for imageboards and bulky collections like +1GB I download almost anything, and I prioritize dying torrents too

Want me to download something for later to keep? I have spare 20 TBs. I do not hoard 3d porn though.

My silent hope is that old files would be worth something in the future, like I could ransom evidence and artifacts for internet historians or that I could trade fun files for fun files.

Any file requests? I might have certain things but internet is so big that I might have a lot but it still is a drop in the ocean.

It's painful. This is my main regret, especially with things I made myself that actually saw some use. I have deleted my 4chan folders numerous times since 2012, when I suddenly get the feeling I'm going to die and my family will look at my shit. What I don't remove is my anime, not even ones I found shitty. Once downloaded they are there for safe keeping. I get a new external drive every four years or so and copy it all over because I'm not /g/ enough to do it some more intelligent way. My first external from 2013 is actually still going ( ´ω`)

Do you have any Ichigo Mashimaro stuff from e-hentai/exhentai in original quality (requires an account and enough gallery points to download, any kind of web scraper will get lower quality compressed versions)? HDoujin is the only site I know of that archives exhentai doujins in original quality but it only has five out of hundreds.

when you die all of your precious files disappear so it doesn't matter in the end, though it is good to keep some animu and vidya in case the internet goes out. also, search engines have become completely abysmal and useless, so even if you wanted to find something you probably won't find it, had a hard time finding this image even though it was posted so much

I keep meaning to save cool pages and threads and shit, and I don't. (;´Д`)

I do have a few PDFs of when I first had the idea and I really do wish I was able to keep up the habit - there isn't a ton of cool stuff, but I saved an awful lot of really useful instructions for shit, and it is just nice to look back on memory lane

Possibly
Because I got this torrent https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/2442124 and I wonder if they could be here

The uploader admits resolution issues though, so I don't know, that is the most I have

its not too hard to make an exhentai account. just sign up, use e-hentai for a bit (liek 1 or 2 weeks) then log out, delete cookies, then log in via the FORUMS, and go straight to exhentai.
Hope that helps pal!

8chan died in August 2019... it was already "8kun" and abandoned by everyone except Qtards by the time all the COVID stuff kicked off :unsure:
