I feel like this whole hobby has always existed on the verge of being deleted for whatever reason, and I am forever grateful that there are people who put this stuff up in the first place.

Still need to work out a way for me to help out.

So often is maintenance work more necessary than glorious. Thank you for it anyway.

Y'know I think another possible analogy here might be the difference between a videogame and a tabletop game. Especially if we compare RPGs specifically.

It's one thing to play a computer RPG. It's another thing to play with a human GM who can reshape the story as needed and who can interact with the player in an open-ended manner.

It's master bait for people interested in the content!

Ahh, the actually-pornographic version of begging senpai to notice oneself.

Thank goodness. Have those copies resurfaced and gone into the possession of proper archivists and/or research collections?

It says we can link to top-level domains, just not specific titles. So you're probably fine anyway. (But I am not a mod.)

Yeah, I read. I don't have much sympathy for him. He sounds like a jerk.

IMO preserving the content is more important than honoring him (or, for that matter, humiliating him).

Ooh, I hadn't considered checking archive.org. Seems useful, albeit very random.

I had poked all over the megathread, but didn't know about the github repo. Thanks.

But yeah, you're right about it being a matter of luck sometimes.

Heh, more of this shit.

Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn't destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.

DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.

COPY ALL THE THINGS.

"no stakes" my ass.
