4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2018-03-29''' - [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/pull/58#issuecomment-377407858 Loveisover is over.] Latest [https://archive.org/details/loveisover-20170903 full backup dumps are from 20170903.]<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/282229/#282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
* 2016-10-2 Middle and bottom Ads have been removed from the site and a thread has been made discussing what could be done to lower the costs of the site. Ads weren't making enough profit and were removed to cut on server costs, and a thread has been made discussing possible options for the future of the site by admin hiroyuki (although the thread has reached the bump limit)<br />
http://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/706294/<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
<br />
* January 2015- Moot Retires from Running the 4chan website.<br />
<br />
* Unknown- 4chan.org officially excluded/blacklisted on The Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here] (dead as of 5/1/2016).<br />

[http://archived.moe Archived.Moe] is a new FoolFuuka archive aiming to be the next 4ch.be, running a thumbs-only archive (with some exceptions; he gets full images for the boards without an archive already) for every single board, including /b/. Bloo, the maintainer of the archive, has already partnered with various other sites to provide redirection for full images for many boards. He has already imported the DBs from 4ch.be and archive.moe, and plans on supporting the site via ads.<br />
<br />
He currently has full images for /con/ (dead), /q/ (dead), /qst/, /po/, and /gd/. This link contains the full list of saved boards and linked archives: [https://puu.sh/pfnUu/656bd28405.txt]<br />
<br />
=== foolz.fireden.net (Static Archive.moe Viewer) ===<br />
<br />
[https://foolz.fireden.net foolz.fireden.net] runs a viewable version of Archive.moe's threads and thumbs, which were all uploaded to the Internet Archive (except for the period between 2015-06 to 2015-10, which was lost).<br />

<br />
[http://archiveofsins.com archiveofsins.com] started on June 13th, 2016, after the death of fgts.jp as an archive for the boards /h/, /hc/, /hm/, /r/, /s/, and /soc/. It archives threads completely, including thumbs and full images. Archived.moe links to images in this archive.<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive also has a private "Archiver of Last Resort" running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive was renamed from Desustorage due to a domain name dispute with their registrar, 1and1. See this post on their internal board for more details: https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/1250/<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in its lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

<br />
A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, /wsr/, and /news/ which provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin has setup up of 4ch.be/Archive.moe clone called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe]. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in its heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of its creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on its servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Late 2011<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive. VoH, the admin of Nyafuu, supposedly has the data from the torrent, but it is in a hard drive in a currently inaccessible (to him) location. This will be updated with any further news/info.'''

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo.net (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Someone's past personal project. It was very slow, so any burst in traffic would've knocked the site offline, as it was the owner's personal computer. Images began to stop loading on the web view (although they were still downloaded), so that, along with the fact that the owner hadn't been actively working to remove illegal content, led to the owner removing the archive from public view.<br />
<br><br>Nyafuu has imported all of its data as of 4/23/2016.<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job. The archived images and database up to June 2015 were archived here: https://archive.org/details/@archivemoe<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs can be viewed at [http://archived.moe archived.moe].<br />
<br />
The site currently redirects to [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe], a 4ch.be/Archive.moe replacement made by the same guy who created [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#The_Second_4archive.org the second 4archive.org].<br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from PayPal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2018-03-29''' - [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/pull/58#issuecomment-377407858 Loveisover is over.] Latest [https://archive.org/details/loveisover-20170903 full backup dumps are from 20170903.]<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/282229/#282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
* 2016-10-2 Middle and bottom Ads have been removed from the site and a thread has been made discussing what could be done to lower the costs of the site. Ads weren't making enough profit and were removed to cut on server costs, and a thread has been made discussing possible options for the future of the site by admin hiroyuki (although the thread has reached the bump limit)<br />
http://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/706294/<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
<br />
* January 2015- Moot Retires from Running the 4chan website.<br />
<br />
* Unknown- 4chan.org officially excluded/blacklisted on The Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here] (dead as of 5/1/2016).<br />

[http://archived.moe Archived.Moe] is a new FoolFuuka archive aiming to be the next 4ch.be, running a thumbs-only archive (with some exceptions; he gets full images for the boards without an archive already) for every single board, including /b/. Bloo, the maintainer of the archive, has already partnered with various other sites to provide redirection for full images for many boards. He has already imported the DBs from 4ch.be and archive.moe, and plans on supporting the site via ads.<br />
<br />
He currently has full images for /con/ (dead), /q/ (dead), /qst/, /po/, and /gd/. This link contains the full list of saved boards and linked archives: [https://puu.sh/pfnUu/656bd28405.txt]<br />

<br />
[https://foolz.fireden.net foolz.fireden.net] runs a viewable version of Archive.moe's threads and thumbs, which were all uploaded to the Internet Archive (except for the period between 2015-06 to 2015-10, which was lost).<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive also has a private "Archiver of Last Resort" running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive was renamed from Desustorage due to a domain name dispute with their registrar, 1and1. See this post on their internal board for more details: https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/1250/<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in its lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

<br />
A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, /wsr/, and /news/ which provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

: '''Note:''' [Loveisover https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/pull/58] was shut down on 2018-03-29. Unfortunately, the [https://archive.org/download/loveisover-20170903 last full image and SQL backup was in 20170903], and the server provider deleted the server immediately without a cooldown period.<br />
<br />
During December 2015 and to mid-February 2016 the main page announced that it was transferring files to a different location and could take a few weeks because of a slow connection, it took a lot longer than that. They probably are not archiving during this time, but that is not certain.<br />
<br />
<br />
A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin has setup up of 4ch.be/Archive.moe clone called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe]. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in its heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of its creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on its servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Late 2011<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive. VoH, the admin of Nyafuu, supposedly has the data from the torrent, but it is in a hard drive in a currently inaccessible (to him) location. This will be updated with any further news/info.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo.net (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />

On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />

Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Someone's past personal project. It was very slow, so any burst in traffic would've knocked the site offline, as it was the owner's personal computer. Images began to stop loading on the web view (although they were still downloaded), so that, along with the fact that the owner hadn't been actively working to remove illegal content, led to the owner removing the archive from public view.<br />
<br><br>Nyafuu has imported all of its data as of 4/23/2016.<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job. The archived images and database up to June 2015 were archived here: https://archive.org/details/@archivemoe<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs can be viewed at [http://archived.moe archived.moe].<br />
<br />
The site currently redirects to [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe], a 4ch.be/Archive.moe replacement made by the same guy who created [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#The_Second_4archive.org the second 4archive.org].<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this site shut down on May 7, 2015. The admin provided a MySQL Dump, which the [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] mirrored to the Internet Archive here:<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, the admin decided to delete the /an/, /toy/, and /x/ archives without providing backups. These archives date all the way back to 2012.<br />
<br />
* imcute.yt inherits all the boards that Heinessen archives, (except for /k/ and /x/), but only inherited history for /fit/ and /mlp/. <br />
* 4plebs.net did not inherit it's /x/ archive, but their own archive dates back to 2013.<br />
* Archive.moe inherited the Heinessen /k/ archive. They also made public [https://archive.org/details/heinessen-mlp-images Heinessen's 282GB archive of all full-size images from /mlp/], which was then uploaded to the Internet Archive.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from PayPal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />

** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
<br />
* January 2015- Moot Retires from Running the 4chan website.<br />
<br />
* Unknown- 4chan.org officially excluded/blacklisted on The Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />

[http://archived.moe Archived.Moe] is a new FoolFuuka archive aiming to be the next 4ch.be, running a thumbs-only archive (with some exceptions; he gets full images for the boards without an archive already) for every single board, including /b/. Bloo, the maintainer of the archive, has already partnered with various other sites to provide redirection for full images for many boards. He has already imported the DBs from 4ch.be and archive.moe, and plans on supporting the site via ads.<br />
<br />
He currently has full images for /con/ (dead), /q/ (dead), /qst/, /po/, and /gd/. This link contains the full list of saved boards and linked archives: [https://puu.sh/pfnUu/656bd28405.txt]<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive also has a private "Archiver of Last Resort" running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive was renamed from Desustorage due to a domain name dispute with their registrar, 1and1. See this post on their internal board for more details: https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/1250/<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in its lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

: '''Note:''' [Loveisover https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/pull/58] was shut down on 2018-03-29. Unfortunately, the [https://archive.org/download/loveisover-20170903 last full image and SQL backup was in 20170903], and the server provider deleted the server immediately without a cooldown period.<br />
<br />
During December 2015 and to mid-February 2016 the main page announced that it was transferring files to a different location and could take a few weeks because of a slow connection, it took a lot longer than that. They probably are not archiving during this time, but that is not certain.<br />

<br />
A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin has setup up of 4ch.be/Archive.moe clone called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe]. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in its heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of its creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on its servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Late 2011<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive. VoH, the admin of Nyafuu, supposedly has the data from the torrent, but it is in a hard drive in a currently inaccessible (to him) location. This will be updated with any further news/info.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo.net (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Someone's past personal project. It was very slow, so any burst in traffic would've knocked the site offline, as it was the owner's personal computer. Images began to stop loading on the web view (although they were still downloaded), so that, along with the fact that the owner hadn't been actively working to remove illegal content, led to the owner removing the archive from public view.<br />
<br><br>Nyafuu has imported all of its data as of 4/23/2016.<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job. The archived images and database up to June 2015 were archived here: https://archive.org/details/@archivemoe<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs can be viewed at [http://archived.moe archived.moe].<br />
<br />
The site currently redirects to [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe], a 4ch.be/Archive.moe replacement made by the same guy who created [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#The_Second_4archive.org the second 4archive.org].<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

All of its content was transferred with the rest of Foolz's data to archive.moe.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from PayPal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />

* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
<br />
* January 2015- Moot Retires from Running the 4chan website.<br />
<br />
* Unknown- 4chan.org officially excluded/blacklisted on The Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />

Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />

It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />

[http://archived.moe Archived.Moe] is a new FoolFuuka archive aiming to be the next 4ch.be, running a thumbs-only archive (with some exceptions; he gets full images for the boards without an archive already) for every single board, including /b/. Bloo, the maintainer of the archive, has already partnered with various other sites to provide redirection for full images for many boards. He has already imported the DBs from 4ch.be and archive.moe, and plans on supporting the site via ads.<br />
<br />
He currently has full images for /con/ (dead), /q/ (dead), /qst/, /po/, and /gd/. This link contains the full list of saved boards and linked archives: [https://puu.sh/pfnUu/656bd28405.txt]<br />
<br />
=== foolz.fireden.net (Static Archive.moe Viewer) ===<br />
<br />
[https://foolz.fireden.net foolz.fireden.net] runs a viewable version of Archive.moe's threads and thumbs, which were all uploaded to the Internet Archive (except for the period between 2015-06 to 2015-10, which was lost).<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive also has a private "Archiver of Last Resort" running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />
<br />
Desuarchive was renamed from Desustorage due to a domain name dispute with their registrar, 1and1. See this post on their internal board for more details: https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/1250/<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in its lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, /wsr/, and /news/ which provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

: '''Note:''' [Loveisover https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/pull/58] was shut down on 2018-03-29. Unfortunately, the [https://archive.org/download/loveisover-20170903 last full image and SQL backup was in 20170903], and the server provider deleted the server immediately without a cooldown period.<br />
<br />
During December 2015 and to mid-February 2016 the main page announced that it was transferring files to a different location and could take a few weeks because of a slow connection, it took a lot longer than that. They probably are not archiving during this time, but that is not certain.<br />

<br />
A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin has setup up of 4ch.be/Archive.moe clone called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe]. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made its files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in its heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of its creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on its servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Late 2011<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive. VoH, the admin of Nyafuu, supposedly has the data from the torrent, but it is in a hard drive in a currently inaccessible (to him) location. This will be updated with any further news/info.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />

* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo.net (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archived /g/ and /t/, started giving 403 errors in June 2014. No idea who has the data.<br />

Someone's past personal project. It was very slow, so any burst in traffic would've knocked the site offline, as it was the owner's personal computer. Images began to stop loading on the web view (although they were still downloaded), so that, along with the fact that the owner hadn't been actively working to remove illegal content, led to the owner removing the archive from public view.<br />
<br><br>Nyafuu has imported all of its data as of 4/23/2016.<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job. The archived images and database up to June 2015 were archived here: https://archive.org/details/@archivemoe<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs can be viewed at [http://archived.moe archived.moe].<br />
<br />
The site currently redirects to [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe], a 4ch.be/Archive.moe replacement made by the same guy who created [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#The_Second_4archive.org the second 4archive.org].<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this site shut down on May 7, 2015. The admin provided a MySQL Dump, which the [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] mirrored to the Internet Archive here:<br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from PayPal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://desustorage.org/qa/thread/282229/#282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />

<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

During December of 2015 and to mid-February of 2016 the main page announced that it was transferring files to a different location and could take a few weeks because of a slow connection, it took a lot longer than that. They probably are not archiving during this time, but that is not certain.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin has setup up of 4ch.be/Archive.moe clone called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=4chan#Archived.Moe Archived.Moe]. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />

{{Infobox project<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />

Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110420045345/http://www.lurkmoarpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lurkmoarpedia]''' - Some sort of ED clone; not to be confused for LURKMORE.<br />

=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Late 2011<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive. VoH, the admin of Nyafuu, supposedly has the data from the torrent, but it is in a hard drive in a currently inaccessible (to him) location. This will be updated with any further news/info.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo.net (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this site shut down on May 7, 2015. The admin provided a MySQL Dump, which the [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] mirrored to the Internet Archive here:<br />

Archived /diy/, /g/, /sci/ throughout it's lifetime. All boards were inherited from Green-Oval and Gentoomen.<br />

It also apparently ran /pol/ for some time, according to this link: https://warosu.org/jp/thread/S8052074#p8055433<br />
<br />
It shut down around Feb. 2014 due to hosting problems, but thankfully dumps of all boards were made public and were inherited by rbt.asia, Foolz.us (now Archive.moe), and warosu.org.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

fgts.jp suffered an irrecoverable hard drive crash in April 2015, causing all data archived before then to be lost. On the flip side, it will be importing Archive.moe's /vp/ archive.<br />
<br />
At 11:08 AM EST, Bui closed fgts.jp. Read the full message here: https://archive.is/78Buf https://i.imgur.com/XH7AUKU.png<br />

A site that saves threads using the shiny new [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework], starting in mid-2015. This site is notable as users submit threads to archive, and full size images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it shut down sometime between October 2015 and January 2016, and there are no backups. There are some threads scraped on the Internet Archive.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<div>== Eksopl's Story of Fuuka and Easymodo ==<br />
<br />
[https://twitter.com/Eksopl/status/565840717810249728 Comes from this TwitLonger].<br />
<br />
The first Fuuka archive was written and hosted by Anonymous of Russian Federation (AoRF) sometime in 2007. It was just called the /a/rchive back then. He hosted it at http://no-info.no-ip.info on his home connection and it only archived /a/. Eventually he got his ISP's subnet banned from 4chan due to other offences, so the archive stopped working. I asked him for the archive's source code on /a/ and he posted it there, in a RAR embedded in an image. I started an /a/ archive at http://archive.doesntexist.org. AoRF's archived data was gone already, so I started from scratch. Soon afterwards, /jp/ was created and I set up a side archive on the same site, using still the first version of AoRF's software. The software at the time was made to archive only one board.<br />
<br />
In Oct 2008, the person who supplied me with the server to run the archive told me he couldn't afford it anymore, so I made arrangements to have the archive hosted with Taro (the person who ran 4scrape, a site that archived images from certain 4chan boards, now gone). That was also when the hostname of the archive changed from archive.doesntexist.org to archive.easymodo.net. archive.doesntexist.org was a DynDNS free domain that didn't allow me to set a CNAME record for it. Taro requested that I pointed to his server using a CNAME, so I used a domain I had acquired but was still unused at the time, easymodo.net. archive.doesntexist.org redirected to archive.easymodo.net and it still did so until May last year, when DynDNS shut down all of their free hostnames.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, sometime in early 2009, AoRF resumed working on the archive code, rewrote a lot of things, added many features (ghost posting was born at this time) and branded it Fuuka. He hosted a temporary version of the archive back at no-info.no-ip for testing. In Mar 2009, I was able to rehost the archive again, so I took it from Taro, who had been providing the hosting for about 5 months now. With the help of AoRF, we got the new version of the archive running (with all the old data intact, of course). The archive.easymodo.net hostname was kept.<br />
<br />
archive.easymodo.net kept archiving /a/ and /jp/. Other boards were added and removed as time went by, I don't have any record of which. By Jun 2010, the /a/ archive was placing a strain on my server, so I offered to give the data to someone else for the purpose of continuing the archive. green-oval took it up (green-oval.net was a Fuuka archive that had been running since Feb 2010, to archive /tv/ and /g/ originally). In Jul 2011, green-oval started having troubles and I took the /a/ archive back. By then, the server I was using to host easymodo was better and could handle /a/ again. Text search on /a/ in easymodo was disabled for a long time, though, until I wrote the code to integrate Fuuka with a search engine, Sphinxsearch (AoRF was out of the picture for some time then, I had been maintaining Fuuka's code at that point). I am not sure when exactly, since I only committed those code changes when I stopped hosting the archives altogether, in late Oct 2011.<br />
<br />
In late Oct 2011, I announced I was unable to keep hosting the archives and offered to give away the archive data I had gathered to anyone who wanted to continue them. By the time easymodo closed down, it was archiving /a/, /jp/, /m/ and /tg/, as it's still detailed on http://archive.easymodo.net/. Unfortunately, I no longer have that data.<br />
<br />
This recollection was mostly pieced together from my memory, the dates were backed up with email records and archive posts. From that point on, the rest is all easily available information, I believe.<br />
<br />
I still continued development on Fuuka, first still on Google Code, then on Google Code and Github in parallel, then after a while on Github only. I also wrote Asagi, the dumper that is currently used by all FoolFuuka archivers. The history of all Asagi changes should be available from the commit logs: https://github.com/eksopl/asagi.<br />
<br />
== Primary Source from a FoolFuuka Developer ==<br />
<br />
Adm|nymous gave us some info about the history of Fuuka, FoolFuuka, and the Fuuka Archivers.<br />
<br />
=== archiving software ===<br />
<br />
* fuuka = original board dumper with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards<br />
* asagi = re-implementation of the fuuka dumper with some significant improvements<br />
* foolfuuka = re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements and utilizes the asagi dumper for archiving<br />
<br />
there is a fairly significant difference between fuuka archives and asagi/foolfuuka archives<br />
<br />
=== archive.moe ===<br />
<br />
we don't consider it as a spin-off from the foolz archive since management is made up of an entirely new team that contacted us a few months ago to obtain the data/etc. we only provide the occasional software support and updates now. also, i'm pretty sure they don't purge full images and continue to increase their storage capacity. the /mlp/ full image dump is most likely a one-time deal since a few people asked for them when heinessen went down and has been merged into their storage server before they made the tarball iirc.<br />
<br />
* /c/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /co/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /g/ = archive.moe <- archive.installgentoo.net (frozen import)<br />
* /h/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /i/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /mlp/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /po/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /r9k/ = archive.moe <- archive.heinessen.com<br />
* /s4s/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /sci/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /tv/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /u/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
<br />
=== installgentoo.net ===<br />
<br />
i'm not sure about /pol/ and /k/, but we (foolz) got /tv/ from them. also the archive actually died in feb 2014 due to issues the admin was having with his hosting provider and dumps were provided at that time.<br />
<br />
=== archive.heinessen.com ===<br />
<br />
the admin provided dumps for /fit/, /r9k/, /mlp/, and /k/. the /fit/ dump was created much later and given to only a few people iirc. archive.moe did not inherit heinessen's /mlp/ archive. they inherited all of the data from us (foolz archive) since we had it archived from the very beginning.<br />
<br />
=== archive.thedarkcave.org ===<br />
<br />
it archived /c/, /int/, /out/, and /po/. foolz obtained the data in june 2014.<br />
<br />
=== archive.foolz.us ===<br />
<br />
the scanlation team never depended on easymodo's /a/ archive to coordinate anything and used irc instead. woxxy only picked it up because he browsed/used it for other things. also, the scanlation team doesnt really have anything to do with the development team (foolcode).<br />
<br />
the data lost didn't occur during the ownership/data transfer phase but much later. it happened a few weeks after all data had been transferred to the archive.moe's servers. you should contact Hasumi for more details if want. she should also be able to provide you with more detailed information bout the thumbnails restored since a few of those info look wrong.<br />
<br />
* /c/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /co/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /int/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /mlp/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us (from the beginning)<br />
* /out/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /po/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /sci/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /tv/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
<br />
also 4chan started to scrub exif data from jpgs back in summer 2014 which results in entirely different file hashes. so reposting images won't restore old thumbnails.<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:21:30 PM] <mayhem> also I'm fairly certain easymodo came before green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:43:32 PM] <antonizoon> mayhem, hmm did it? Easymodo says this: http://archive.easymodo.net/ <br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:46:43 PM] <antonizoon> Nope. Easymodo came after, because they inherited the /a/rchive from Green-oval. https://web.archive.org/web/20110715235446/http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/tv/?<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:48:57 PM] <antonizoon> ?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:00 PM] <mayhem> which implies*<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:06 PM] <antonizoon> Was that on the wikipage?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:15 PM] <antonizoon> I thought I fixed it<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:26 PM] <antonizoon> which table did you see it in?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:40 PM] <mayhem> http://archive.easymodo.net/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:50:31 PM] <antonizoon> Ok, here's what I think<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:50:46 PM] <antonizoon> This might imply that Easymodo also existed in tandem with Green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:51:07 PM] <antonizoon> but when Green Oval shut down, it transferred it's /a/rchive to the existing Easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:51:24 PM] <antonizoon> Easymodo might have started for the purpose of archiving /jp/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:22 PM] <antonizoon> Seems like a decent hypothesis, right? Especially since fuuka was not a friendly beast to work with and learn quickly back then<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:29 PM] <antonizoon> I'll check the internet archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:55 PM] <antonizoon> oh wait, easymodo.net uses robots.txt<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:03 PM] <antonizoon> goddamn it.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:08 PM] <antonizoon> we will never know<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:31 PM] <antonizoon> However, it is safe to say that Green-oval was archiving at least just /a/ first<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:56 PM] <antonizoon> while Easymodo was the first to archive /jp/ (that's kind of what their domain name implies)<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:04:35 PM] <antonizoon> Ah yes, the git commits are the best historical record<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:05:28 PM] <mayhem> there you go<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:05:51 PM] <mayhem> first link to easymodo on 10 oct 2008 for the /a/ archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:07 PM] <mayhem> and 3rd march 20�10� for green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:13 PM] <antonizoon> interesting<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:20 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/a/thread/36628143/#36628143<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:24 PM] <mayhem> told ya<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:40 PM] <mayhem> yeah it's a good idea to check the archives sometimes :^)<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:42 PM] <antonizoon> However, we wouldn't have this confusion if Easymodo had decided not to use robots.txt<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:55 PM] <mayhem> that's what the archives are for<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:04 PM] <antonizoon> because there are no Wayback Machine snapshots to give us any more information<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:28 PM] <antonizoon> So, let's retrace the history of the Fuuka script, way back<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:29 PM] <antonizoon> let<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:44 PM] <antonizoon> 's make a good effort to write how it spread and which sites used it<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:59 PM] <mayhem> Adm|nymous: https://archive.moe/a/search/order/asc/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:00 PM] <mayhem> wtf<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:12 PM] <antonizoon> starts at 1970 due to bad dates<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:14 PM] <Adm|nymous> we got it like that iirc<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:16 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/a/thread/9890356/#9890364<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:28 PM] <mayhem> shouldn't you order by post number?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:33 PM] <antonizoon> 1970 is the unix epoch<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:38 PM] <mayhem> I know<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:56 PM] <antonizoon> well, "oldest first" works on the dates provided<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:58 PM] <Adm|nymous> i think we did timestamp cause of global search<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:07 PM] <antonizoon> yeah, that makes sense<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:25 PM] <mayhem> why use timestamps when you can use post numbers<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:51 PM] <antonizoon> because you can't really search across boards then, right?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:10:16 PM] <antonizoon> I mean, GETs are different on each board, right?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:10:31 PM] <mayhem> oh right<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:07 PM] <antonizoon> Ok, tell me all about Easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:14 PM] <antonizoon> I'll write it down on the wikipage<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:34 PM] <mayhem> try emailing krade or something<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:38 PM] <antonizoon> krade?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:55 PM] <mayhem> that's eksopl<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:51 PM] <antonizoon> hmm. He's still around? which email would work?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:57 PM] <antonizoon> or she?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:58 PM] <antonizoon> dunno<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:13:55 PM] <antonizoon> hmmm<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:21 PM] <antonizoon> >he has a brain tumour, which is why he closed down the archive. Contacting him may be difficult.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:49 PM] <antonizoon> anyway, eksopl@gmail.com , right? or "krade" has a new email?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:58 PM] <mayhem> everything written on the internet is true<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:04 PM] <mayhem> should be the same<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:13 PM] <mayhem> that's the one he uses in git at least<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:25 PM] <antonizoon> well ok, I'll do that<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:54 PM] <antonizoon> What do you know about Easymodo though? Just for now<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:03 PM] <mayhem> https://twitter.com/Eksopl/status/565467368370237441<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:12 PM] <mayhem> it was too long ago<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:17 PM] <mayhem> can't remember much<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:34 PM] <mayhem> and I wasn't that much involved in the process of archivers/4chan X<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:27 PM] <antonizoon> well, alright.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:39 PM] <antonizoon> I'll tweet him about it. Also, feel free to correct any inaccuracies<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:46 PM] <antonizoon> most of all, anyone have the Easymodo archives?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:05 PM] <mayhem> yeah, archive.moe<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:24 PM] <antonizoon> We should upload them to the Interent Archive, they can easily hold a 252GB upload without a sweat<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:34 PM] <antonizoon> like we did for the Heinessen /mlp/ full image archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:48 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/ it's right there :^)<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:30 PM] <antonizoon> No, no, I meant the torrents used to recover archive.moe when the thumbnails got screwed up<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:37 PM] <antonizoon> which were created for Foolz<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:46 PM] <antonizoon> back in 2012 or so<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:23:38 PM] <mayhem> doubt you can find them<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:25:24 PM] <antonizoon> yeah, I guess so. The next time a backup transfer happens, feel free to go to http://archive.org/upload and dump however many gigabytes you can provide for future generations<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:26:34 PM] <antonizoon> just like we did for this: https://archive.org/details/archive.heinessen.com-torrent<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:27:07 PM] <mayhem> either way foolz imported everything from easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:27:16 PM] <mayhem> and archive.moe imported everything from foolz<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:28:28 PM] <antonizoon> yup. It's supported by good facts<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:29:07 PM] <antonizoon> and that's how Internet Anthropology works. Sifting through the ruins of civilization past. Making judgements from the trash left behind. Archeology... is the science of trash<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:30:21 PM] <antonizoon> I guess I'll have to add more "maybes" in this wikipage. Well, thanks for the information. Feel free to edit the wikipage as you wish.<br />

== Archive of pre-foolz downfall /v/? ==<br />
<br />
So since 4ch.be is no more. Does anyone know of an archive that hosts all the pre-downfall content from foolz?<br />
<br />
arch.b4k.co only hosts from October 4 onward.<br />
Fireden.net only hosts starting from mid-January.<br />
desustorage doesn't host /v/ period.<br />
[[User:Allytogood|Allytogood]] ([[User talk:Allytogood|talk]]) 12:20, 25 March 2016 (EDT)<br />
<br />
https://foolz.fireden.net/v/ holds the content from before Archive.moe shut down, so that's what you're looking for. Those sites work to keep archiving /v/ where they left off. If you'd like to discuss with the admins, jump in at irc.rizon.net #bibanon and ask for Bui (runs fgts.jp and ran 4ch.be), or atc (runs Desustorage and a secret Archive of Last Resort).

'''Photobucket''' is an image hosting service. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/twitter-partners-with-photobucket-on-photos-and-firefox-on-search/2011/06/01/AGVDSVGH_story.html They are also hosting Twitter images].<br />

Seems stable.<br />
<br />
== Archiving Photobucket ==<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/bibanon/PB_Shovel/ PB_Shovel] can be used to download all images from an album and all subalbums (recursively).<br />
<br />
This version of PB_Shovel has also been modified with a `--links-only` option to crawl a list of every single URLs from the album and subalbums instead of downloading. This makes it possible to use [[wget]] to grab all the files yourself, or [https://github.com/ludios/grab-site grab-site] to archive with WARC.<br />
<br />
Usage: Obtain all the urls of a Photobucket Album, even subalbums (using the -r parameter), and put them in links-<datetime>.txt. This url file can be given to wget or grab-site to download.<br />
<br />
python pb_shovel.py 'http://s160.photobucket.com/user/Spinningfox/library/Internet Fads' -r --links-only<br />
wget -i links-2016-03-20_02-03-01.txt<br />

<div>== Eksopl's Story of Fuuka and Easymodo ==<br />
<br />
[https://twitter.com/Eksopl/status/565840717810249728 Comes from this TwitLonger].<br />
<br />
The first Fuuka archive was written and hosted by Anonymous of Russian Federation (AoRF) sometime in 2007. It was just called the /a/rchive back then. He hosted it at http://no-info.no-ip.info on his home connection and it only archived /a/. Eventually he got his ISP's subnet banned from 4chan due to other offences, so the archive stopped working. I asked him for the archive's source code on /a/ and he posted it there, in a RAR embedded in an image. I started an /a/ archive at http://archive.doesntexist.org. AoRF's archived data was gone already, so I started from scratch. Soon afterwards, /jp/ was created and I set up a side archive on the same site, using still the first version of AoRF's software. The software at the time was made to archive only one board.<br />
<br />
In Oct 2008, the person who supplied me with the server to run the archive told me he couldn't afford it anymore, so I made arrangements to have the archive hosted with Taro (the person who ran 4scrape, a site that archived images from certain 4chan boards, now gone). That was also when the hostname of the archive changed from archive.doesntexist.org to archive.easymodo.net. archive.doesntexist.org was a DynDNS free domain that didn't allow me to set a CNAME record for it. Taro requested that I pointed to his server using a CNAME, so I used a domain I had acquired but was still unused at the time, easymodo.net. archive.doesntexist.org redirected to archive.easymodo.net and it still did so until May last year, when DynDNS shut down all of their free hostnames.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, sometime in early 2009, AoRF resumed working on the archive code, rewrote a lot of things, added many features (ghost posting was born at this time) and branded it Fuuka. He hosted a temporary version of the archive back at no-info.no-ip for testing. In Mar 2009, I was able to rehost the archive again, so I took it from Taro, who had been providing the hosting for about 5 months now. With the help of AoRF, we got the new version of the archive running (with all the old data intact, of course). The archive.easymodo.net hostname was kept.<br />
<br />
archive.easymodo.net kept archiving /a/ and /jp/. Other boards were added and removed as time went by, I don't have any record of which. By Jun 2010, the /a/ archive was placing a strain on my server, so I offered to give the data to someone else for the purpose of continuing the archive. green-oval took it up (green-oval.net was a Fuuka archive that had been running since Feb 2010, to archive /tv/ and /g/ originally). In Jul 2011, green-oval started having troubles and I took the /a/ archive back. By then, the server I was using to host easymodo was better and could handle /a/ again. Text search on /a/ in easymodo was disabled for a long time, though, until I wrote the code to integrate Fuuka with a search engine, Sphinxsearch (AoRF was out of the picture for some time then, I had been maintaining Fuuka's code at that point). I am not sure when exactly, since I only committed those code changes when I stopped hosting the archives altogether, in late Oct 2011.<br />
<br />
In late Oct 2011, I announced I was unable to keep hosting the archives and offered to give away the archive data I had gathered to anyone who wanted to continue them. By the time easymodo closed down, it was archiving /a/, /jp/, /m/ and /tg/, as it's still detailed on http://archive.easymodo.net/. Unfortunately, I no longer have that data.<br />
<br />
This recollection was mostly pieced together from my memory, the dates were backed up with email records and archive posts. From that point on, the rest is all easily available information, I believe.<br />
<br />
I still continued development on Fuuka, first still on Google Code, then on Google Code and Github in parallel, then after a while on Github only. I also wrote Asagi, the dumper that is currently used by all FoolFuuka archivers. The history of all Asagi changes should be available from the commit logs: https://github.com/eksopl/asagi.<br />
<br />
== Primary Source from a FoolFuuka Developer ==<br />
<br />
Adm|nymous gave us some info about the history of Fuuka, FoolFuuka, and the Fuuka Archivers.<br />
<br />
=== archiving software ===<br />
<br />
* fuuka = original board dumper with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards<br />
* asagi = re-implementation of the fuuka dumper with some significant improvements<br />
* foolfuuka = re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements and utilizes the asagi dumper for archiving<br />
<br />
there is a fairly significant difference between fuuka archives and asagi/foolfuuka archives<br />
<br />
=== archive.moe ===<br />
<br />
we don't consider it as a spin-off from the foolz archive since management is made up of an entirely new team that contacted us a few months ago to obtain the data/etc. we only provide the occasional software support and updates now. also, i'm pretty sure they don't purge full images and continue to increase their storage capacity. the /mlp/ full image dump is most likely a one-time deal since a few people asked for them when heinessen went down and has been merged into their storage server before they made the tarball iirc.<br />
<br />
* /c/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /co/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /g/ = archive.moe <- archive.installgentoo.net (frozen import)<br />
* /h/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /i/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /mlp/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /po/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /r9k/ = archive.moe <- archive.heinessen.com<br />
* /s4s/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /sci/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /tv/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /u/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
<br />
=== installgentoo.net ===<br />
<br />
i'm not sure about /pol/ and /k/, but we (foolz) got /tv/ from them. also the archive actually died in feb 2014 due to issues the admin was having with his hosting provider and dumps were provided at that time.<br />
<br />
=== archive.heinessen.com ===<br />
<br />
the admin provided dumps for /fit/, /r9k/, /mlp/, and /k/. the /fit/ dump was created much later and given to only a few people iirc. archive.moe did not inherit heinessen's /mlp/ archive. they inherited all of the data from us (foolz archive) since we had it archived from the very beginning.<br />
<br />
=== archive.thedarkcave.org ===<br />
<br />
it archived /c/, /int/, /out/, and /po/. foolz obtained the data in june 2014.<br />
<br />
=== archive.foolz.us ===<br />
<br />
the scanlation team never depended on easymodo's /a/ archive to coordinate anything and used irc instead. woxxy only picked it up because he browsed/used it for other things. also, the scanlation team doesnt really have anything to do with the development team (foolcode).<br />
<br />
the data lost didn't occur during the ownership/data transfer phase but much later. it happened a few weeks after all data had been transferred to the archive.moe's servers. you should contact Hasumi for more details if want. she should also be able to provide you with more detailed information bout the thumbnails restored since a few of those info look wrong.<br />
<br />
* /c/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /co/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us<br />
* /int/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /mlp/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us (from the beginning)<br />
* /out/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /po/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.thedarkcave.org<br />
* /sci/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
* /tv/ = archive.moe <- foolz.us <- archive.installgentoo.net <- green-oval.net/gentooman<br />
<br />
also 4chan started to scrub exif data from jpgs back in summer 2014 which results in entirely different file hashes. so reposting images won't restore old thumbnails.<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [07:42:36 PM] <mayhem> might want to take a look at that<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [07:43:34 PM] <mayhem> oh wait you already link to that<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:00:03 PM] <antonizoon> thanks. That is a definitive source for founding dates and past archivers<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:00:21 PM] <antonizoon> I'll look into it more sooner or later<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:00:52 PM] <antonizoon> Also, the plan is to make a very impressive timeline to show what time periods of the boards have been archived, and what is lost<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:00:59 PM] <antonizoon> and who inherited what<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:21:30 PM] <mayhem> also I'm fairly certain easymodo came before green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:43:32 PM] <antonizoon> mayhem, hmm did it? Easymodo says this: http://archive.easymodo.net/ <br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:45:19 PM] <mayhem> yeah<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:45:58 PM] <antonizoon> I'll check the internet archive:<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:46:43 PM] <antonizoon> Nope. Easymodo came after, because they inherited the /a/rchive from Green-oval. https://web.archive.org/web/20110715235446/http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/tv/?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:48:01 PM] <mayhem> a foolz Easymodo + Green-Oval + Easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:48:20 PM] <mayhem> which implying that easymodo was first, then green oval, then easymodo again<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:48:57 PM] <antonizoon> ?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:00 PM] <mayhem> which implies*<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:06 PM] <antonizoon> Was that on the wikipage?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:15 PM] <antonizoon> I thought I fixed it<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:26 PM] <antonizoon> which table did you see it in?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:49:40 PM] <mayhem> http://archive.easymodo.net/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:50:31 PM] <antonizoon> Ok, here's what I think<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:50:46 PM] <antonizoon> This might imply that Easymodo also existed in tandem with Green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:51:07 PM] <antonizoon> but when Green Oval shut down, it transferred it's /a/rchive to the existing Easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:51:24 PM] <antonizoon> Easymodo might have started for the purpose of archiving /jp/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:22 PM] <antonizoon> Seems like a decent hypothesis, right? Especially since fuuka was not a friendly beast to work with and learn quickly back then<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:29 PM] <antonizoon> I'll check the internet archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:52:55 PM] <antonizoon> oh wait, easymodo.net uses robots.txt<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:03 PM] <antonizoon> goddamn it.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:08 PM] <antonizoon> we will never know<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:31 PM] <antonizoon> However, it is safe to say that Green-oval was archiving at least just /a/ first<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:53:56 PM] <antonizoon> while Easymodo was the first to archive /jp/ (that's kind of what their domain name implies)<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [08:59:31 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:00:33 PM] <Adm|nymous> you can slap Krade and find out<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:03:16 PM] <mayhem> https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:04:23 PM] <antonizoon> slap? like, /slap?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:04:35 PM] <antonizoon> Ah yes, the git commits are the best historical record<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:05:24 PM] <mayhem> antonizoon: https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:05:28 PM] <mayhem> there you go<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:05:51 PM] <mayhem> first link to easymodo on 10 oct 2008 for the /a/ archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:07 PM] <mayhem> and 3rd march 20�10� for green-oval<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:13 PM] <antonizoon> interesting<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:20 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/a/thread/36628143/#36628143<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:24 PM] <mayhem> told ya<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:40 PM] <mayhem> yeah it's a good idea to check the archives sometimes :^)<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:42 PM] <antonizoon> However, we wouldn't have this confusion if Easymodo had decided not to use robots.txt<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:06:55 PM] <mayhem> that's what the archives are for<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:04 PM] <antonizoon> because there are no Wayback Machine snapshots to give us any more information<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:28 PM] <antonizoon> So, let's retrace the history of the Fuuka script, way back<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:29 PM] <antonizoon> let<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:44 PM] <antonizoon> 's make a good effort to write how it spread and which sites used it<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:07:59 PM] <mayhem> Adm|nymous: https://archive.moe/a/search/order/asc/<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:00 PM] <mayhem> wtf<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:12 PM] <antonizoon> starts at 1970 due to bad dates<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:14 PM] <Adm|nymous> we got it like that iirc<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:16 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/a/thread/9890356/#9890364<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:28 PM] <mayhem> shouldn't you order by post number?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:33 PM] <antonizoon> 1970 is the unix epoch<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:38 PM] <mayhem> I know<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:56 PM] <antonizoon> well, "oldest first" works on the dates provided<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:08:58 PM] <Adm|nymous> i think we did timestamp cause of global search<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:07 PM] <antonizoon> yeah, that makes sense<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:25 PM] <mayhem> why use timestamps when you can use post numbers<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:09:51 PM] <antonizoon> because you can't really search across boards then, right?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:10:16 PM] <antonizoon> I mean, GETs are different on each board, right?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:10:31 PM] <mayhem> oh right<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:07 PM] <antonizoon> Ok, tell me all about Easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:14 PM] <antonizoon> I'll write it down on the wikipage<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:34 PM] <mayhem> try emailing krade or something<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:38 PM] <antonizoon> krade?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:11:55 PM] <mayhem> that's eksopl<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:51 PM] <antonizoon> hmm. He's still around? which email would work?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:57 PM] <antonizoon> or she?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:12:58 PM] <antonizoon> dunno<br />

[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:13:55 PM] <antonizoon> hmmm<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:21 PM] <antonizoon> >he has a brain tumour, which is why he closed down the archive. Contacting him may be difficult.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:49 PM] <antonizoon> anyway, eksopl@gmail.com , right? or "krade" has a new email?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:14:58 PM] <mayhem> everything written on the internet is true<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:04 PM] <mayhem> should be the same<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:13 PM] <mayhem> that's the one he uses in git at least<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:25 PM] <antonizoon> well ok, I'll do that<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:15:54 PM] <antonizoon> What do you know about Easymodo though? Just for now<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:03 PM] <mayhem> https://twitter.com/Eksopl/status/565467368370237441<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:12 PM] <mayhem> it was too long ago<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:17 PM] <mayhem> can't remember much<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:16:34 PM] <mayhem> and I wasn't that much involved in the process of archivers/4chan X<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:27 PM] <antonizoon> well, alright.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:39 PM] <antonizoon> I'll tweet him about it. Also, feel free to correct any inaccuracies<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:18:46 PM] <antonizoon> most of all, anyone have the Easymodo archives?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:05 PM] <mayhem> yeah, archive.moe<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:24 PM] <antonizoon> We should upload them to the Interent Archive, they can easily hold a 252GB upload without a sweat<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:34 PM] <antonizoon> like we did for the Heinessen /mlp/ full image archive<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:19:48 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/ it's right there :^)<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:30 PM] <antonizoon> No, no, I meant the torrents used to recover archive.moe when the thumbnails got screwed up<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:37 PM] <antonizoon> which were created for Foolz<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:22:46 PM] <antonizoon> back in 2012 or so<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:23:18 PM] <antonizoon> https://twitter.com/archivemoe/status/514106163210645504<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:23:38 PM] <mayhem> doubt you can find them<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:25:24 PM] <antonizoon> yeah, I guess so. The next time a backup transfer happens, feel free to go to http://archive.org/upload and dump however many gigabytes you can provide for future generations<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:26:34 PM] <antonizoon> just like we did for this: https://archive.org/details/archive.heinessen.com-torrent<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:27:07 PM] <mayhem> either way foolz imported everything from easymodo<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:27:16 PM] <mayhem> and archive.moe imported everything from foolz<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:28:28 PM] <antonizoon> yup. It's supported by good facts<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:29:07 PM] <antonizoon> and that's how Internet Anthropology works. Sifting through the ruins of civilization past. Making judgements from the trash left behind. Archeology... is the science of trash<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:30:21 PM] <antonizoon> I guess I'll have to add more "maybes" in this wikipage. Well, thanks for the information. Feel free to edit the wikipage as you wish.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:34:18 PM] <mayhem> antonizoon: https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:34:26 PM] <mayhem> you could check twitter for more info too<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:35:10 PM] Join asianaussie (~aa@dazzling.every.stage) has joined this channel.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:35:10 PM] Mode Saber gives channel operator privileges to asianaussie.<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:36:01 PM] <antonizoon> thanks, a good place for more sources<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:36:58 PM] <mayhem> you might want to ask on archive.moe's irc for more info<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:37:43 PM] <antonizoon> ah, what is the channel?<br />
[Wednesday, February 11, 2015] [09:38:35 PM] <mayhem> https://archive.moe/_/articles/irc/<br />

'''YouTube''' is a [[Video hostings|video sharing]] website currently owned by [[Google]]. YouTube is currently the most popular video hosting website on the planet.<br />
<br />
== Archiving tools ==<br />
<br />
Several free FLV downloaders and video-to-URL converters exist on the web.<br />
AT rescue projects usually use [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ youtube-dl].<br><br />
YouTube annotations (speech bubbles and notes) are available as XML<br />
<pre><br />
http://www.youtube.com/api/reviews/y/read2?feat=TCS&video_id=<br />
</pre><br />
To transform this XML to SRT, use [https://github.com/ndurner/AT-tools/tree/master/ann2srt ann2srt]<br />
<br />
=== (Automatic) tubeup.py - Youtube Video IA Archiver ===<br />
<br />
: '''Note:''' When uploading to the Internet Archive, please avoid exposing the site to legal risk by adhering to their terms of service for ''blatantly'' copyrighted content. Unfortunately, they are subject to similar threats of DMCA takedowns as YouTube, so do use discretion.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup tubeup.py] is an automated archival script that uses [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ youtube-dl] to download a Youtube video (or any other provider supported by youtube-dl), and then uploads it with all metadata to the Internet Archive. <br />
<br />
This way, all metadata from the video, such as title, tags, categories, and description, are preserved in the corresponding Internet Archive item, without having to manually enter it. <br />
<br />
It also creates a standardized Internet Archive item name format that makes it easy to find the video using the Youtube ID, and reduces duplication: https://archive.org/details/youtube-DWfYzulsHbU<br />
<br />
Youtube-dl [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md also works with many other video sites.]<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup Github - tubeup.py]<br />
<br />
=== (Manual) Recommended way to archive Youtube videos ===<br />
<br />
First, download the video/playlist/channel/user using youtube-dl:<br />
<br />
<tt>youtube-dl --title --continue --retries 4 --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --write-annotations --all-subs --ignore-errors -f bestvideo+bestaudio URL</tt><br />
<br />
This can be simplified by running the [https://github.com/matthazinski/youtube2internetarchive script by emijrp and others], which also handles upload.<br />
<br />
You need a recent (2014) ffmpeg or avconv for the <tt>bestvideo+bestaudio</tt> muxing to work. On Windows, you also need to run youtube-dl with Python 3.3/3.4 instead of Python 2.7, otherwise non-ASCII filenames will fail to mux. <br />
<br />
Also, make sure you're using the most recent version of youtube-dl. Previous versions didn't work if the highest quality video+audio was webm+m4a. New versions should automagically merge incompatible formats into a .mkv file.<ref>https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/5456</ref><br />
<br />
Then, upload it to https://archive.org/upload/ Make sure to upload not only the video itself (.mp4 and/or .mkv files), but also the metadata files created along with it (.info.json, .jpg, .annotations.xml and .description).<br />
<br />
====kyan likes this method:====<br />
<br />
Youtube sucker (look out it leaves some incompletes in the directory afterward. Can clean up w/ <tt>rm -v ./*.mp4 ./*.webm</tt> then <tt>ls | grep \.part$</tt> and get the video IDs out of that and redownload them and repeat etc etc). Can upload the WARCs only e.g. using ia (Python Internet Archive client) or warcdealer (automated uploader I hacked together) — or if you want, can upload the other stuff too, but that's kind of wasteful of storage space. In my opinion, getting stuff without a WARC is a great crime, given the ready availability of tools to create WARCs. Note that this method also works for other Web sites supported by youtube-dl too, although it maybe would need different cleanup commands afterward. Depends on youtube-dl and warcprox running on localhost:8000.<br />
<br />
<tt>youtube-dl --title --continue --retries 100 --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --proxy="localhost:8000" --write-annotations --all-subs --no-check-certificate --ignore-errors -k -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best </tt>(stick the video/channel/playlist/whatever URL in here)<br />
<br />
====vxbinaca likes this method for entire channels:====<br />
<br />
Put this in ~/.config/youtube-dl.conf<br />
<br />
<tt> -q --download-archive ~/.ytdlarchive --retries 100 --no-overwrites --call-home --continue --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --write-annotations --all-subs --sub-format srt --convert-subs srt --write-sub --add-metadata -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best --merge-output-format 'mkv'</tt><br />
<br />
* Let's severely cut down on all that output and see only things that matter like errors.<br />
* Use archiving file so we don't download the same video over and over on subsequent channel rips<br />
* No over-writes so video/metadata aren't touched often<br />
* Reduces traffic and lookups<br />
* Standard-based file formats, for both subs and video (as well as embedding the subs in the video file, instead of some files being webm, some mp4, some mkv. I pick one free format that's more expansive than webm and go with that.<br />
<br />
Optional flags, can be safely turned off:<br />
* Some of the subtitle stuff<br />
* Call home to aid in development of the script<br />
<br />
== Site reconnaissance ==<br />
<br />
Little is known about its database, but according to [http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2006/09/01/youtube-data-storage-stats-revealed/ data from 2006], it was 45TB and doubling every 4 months. At this rate it would be '''660 Petabytes (Oct 2014)''' by now.<br />
<br />
According to Leo Leung's calculations based on available information, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4TU9HZsajZtuvVlLZZgnNZsLVpYdnul47QE9iQq7Po/pub an often updated Google spreadsheet] estimates that in early 2015 YouTube's content reached 500 petabytes in size.<br />
<br />
FYI, all of [[Google Video]] was about 45TB, and the Archive Team's biggest project, [[MobileMe]] was 200TB. The [[Internet Archive]]'s total capacity is 50PB as of August 2014. So let's hope YouTube stays healthy, because the Archive Team may have finally met its match.<br />
<br />
== Vital signs ==<br />
<br />
Will be living off Google for a long time if nothing changes.<br />

'''YouTube''' is a [[Video hostings|video sharing]] website currently owned by [[Google]]. YouTube is currently the most popular video hosting website on the planet.<br />

== Archiving tools ==<br />
<br />
Several free FLV downloaders and video-to-URL converters exist on the web.<br />
AT rescue projects usually use [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ youtube-dl].<br><br />
YouTube annotations (speech bubbles and notes) are available as XML<br />

=== (Automatic) tubeup.py - Youtube Video IA Archiver ===<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup tubeup.py] is an automated archival script that uses [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ youtube-dl] to download a Youtube video (or any other provider supported by youtube-dl), and then uploads it with all metadata to the Internet Archive. <br />
<br />
This way, all metadata from the video, such as title, tags, categories, and description, are preserved in the corresponding Internet Archive item, without having to manually enter it. <br />
<br />
It also creates a standardized Internet Archive item name format that makes it easy to find the video using the Youtube ID, and reduces duplication: https://archive.org/details/youtube-DWfYzulsHbU<br />
<br />
Youtube-dl [https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md also works with many other video sites.]<br />
<br />

<br />
=== (Manual) Recommended way to archive Youtube videos ===<br />
<br />
First, download the video/playlist/channel/user using youtube-dl:<br />
<br />
<tt>youtube-dl --title --continue --retries 4 --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --write-annotations --all-subs --ignore-errors -f bestvideo+bestaudio URL</tt><br />
<br />
This can be simplified by running the [https://github.com/matthazinski/youtube2internetarchive script by emijrp and others], which also handles upload.<br />
<br />
You need a recent (2014) ffmpeg or avconv for the <tt>bestvideo+bestaudio</tt> muxing to work. On Windows, you also need to run youtube-dl with Python 3.3/3.4 instead of Python 2.7, otherwise non-ASCII filenames will fail to mux. <br />
<br />
Also, make sure you're using the most recent version of youtube-dl. Previous versions didn't work if the highest quality video+audio was webm+m4a. New versions should automagically merge incompatible formats into a .mkv file.<ref>https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/5456</ref><br />
<br />
Then, upload it to https://archive.org/upload/ Make sure to upload not only the video itself (.mp4 and/or .mkv files), but also the metadata files created along with it (.info.json, .jpg, .annotations.xml and .description).<br />
<br />

Youtube sucker (look out it leaves some incompletes in the directory afterward. Can clean up w/ <tt>rm -v ./*.mp4 ./*.webm</tt> then <tt>ls | grep \.part$</tt> and get the video IDs out of that and redownload them and repeat etc etc). Can upload the WARCs only e.g. using ia (Python Internet Archive client) or warcdealer (automated uploader I hacked together) — or if you want, can upload the other stuff too, but that's kind of wasteful of storage space. In my opinion, getting stuff without a WARC is a great crime, given the ready availability of tools to create WARCs. Note that this method also works for other Web sites supported by youtube-dl too, although it maybe would need different cleanup commands afterward. Depends on youtube-dl and warcprox running on localhost:8000.<br />
<br />
<tt>youtube-dl --title --continue --retries 100 --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --proxy="localhost:8000" --write-annotations --all-subs --no-check-certificate --ignore-errors -k -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best </tt>(stick the video/channel/playlist/whatever URL in here)<br />

<br />
* Let's severely cut down on all that output and see only things that matter like errors.<br />
* Use archiving file so we don't download the same video over and over on subsequent channel rips<br />
* No over-writes so video/metadata aren't touched often<br />
* Reduces traffic and lookups<br />
* Standard-based file formats, for both subs and video (as well as embedding the subs in the video file, instead of some files being webm, some mp4, some mkv. I pick one free format that's more expansive than webm and go with that.<br />
<br />
Optional flags, can be safely turned off:<br />
* Some of the subtitle stuff<br />
* Call home to aid in development of the script<br />

Little is known about its database, but according to [http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2006/09/01/youtube-data-storage-stats-revealed/ data from 2006], it was 45TB and doubling every 4 months. At this rate it would be '''660 Petabytes (Oct 2014)''' by now.<br />
<br />
According to Leo Leung's calculations based on available information, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4TU9HZsajZtuvVlLZZgnNZsLVpYdnul47QE9iQq7Po/pub an often updated Google spreadsheet] estimates that in early 2015 YouTube's content reached 500 petabytes in size.<br />
<br />
FYI, all of [[Google Video]] was about 45TB, and the Archive Team's biggest project, [[MobileMe]] was 200TB. The [[Internet Archive]]'s total capacity is 50PB as of August 2014. So let's hope YouTube stays healthy, because the Archive Team may have finally met its match.<br />

* No over-writes so video/metadata aren't touched often<br />
* Reduces traffic and lookups<br />
* Standard-based file formats, for both subs and video (as well as embedding the subs in the video file, instead of some files being webm, some mp4, some mkv. I pick one free format that's more expansive than webm and go with that.<br />

== Site reconnaissance ==<br />
<br />
Little is known about its database, but according to [http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2006/09/01/youtube-data-storage-stats-revealed/ data from 2006], it was 45TB and doubling every 4 months. At this rate it would be '''660 Petabytes (Oct 2014)''' by now.<br />
<br />
According to Leo Leung's calculations based on available information, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4TU9HZsajZtuvVlLZZgnNZsLVpYdnul47QE9iQq7Po/pub an often updated Google spreadsheet] estimates that in early 2015 YouTube's content reached 500 petabytes in size.<br />
<br />
FYI, all of [[Google Video]] was about 45TB, and the Archive Team's biggest project, [[MobileMe]] was 200TB. The [[Internet Archive]]'s total capacity is 50PB as of August 2014. So let's hope YouTube stays healthy, because the Archive Team may have finally met its match.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />
<br />
=== archive.fireden.net (Static Archive.moe Viewer) ===<br />
<br />
[http://archive.fireden.net archive.fireden.net] runs a viewable version of Archive.moe's threads and thumbs, which were all uploaded to the Internet Archive (except for the period between 2015-06 to 2015-10, which was lost).<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/.

Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs (and some full images) can be viewed at [http://archive.fireden.net fireden.net].<br />

<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />

=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs (and some full images) can be viewed at [http://archive.fireden.net fireden.net].<br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />

They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />

| project_status = {{online}}<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

| archiving_status = {{nosavedyet}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchive.net 4chanarchive.net], formerly [http://4chandata.org 4chandata.org]<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come.

=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />
<br />
A static version with thumbs (and some full images) can be viewed at [http://archive.fireden.net fireden.net].<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />

They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />

| project_status = {{online}}<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />
=== 4chan Flash archive ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

| archiving_status = {{nosavedyet}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchive.net 4chanarchive.net], formerly [http://4chandata.org 4chandata.org]<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet.

The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />

They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />
| URL = [http://4archive.org 4archive.org]<br />
| project_status = {{online}}<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />

| archiving_status = {{nosavedyet}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchive.net 4chanarchive.net], formerly [http://4chandata.org 4chandata.org]<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan.

<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />

Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain, or rehost archives that would otherwise have disappeared.<br />

=== The Second 4archive.org ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = The Second 4archive.org<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />
| URL = [http://4archive.org 4archive.org]<br />
| project_status = {{online}}<br />

<br />
: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
The Second '''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the First 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />

| archiving_status = {{nosavedyet}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchive.net 4chanarchive.net], formerly [http://4chandata.org 4chandata.org]<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110420045345/http://www.lurkmoarpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lurkmoarpedia]''' - Some sort of ED clone; not to be confused for LURKMORE.<br />

== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />

The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />

According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
Start Date: (before June 2013)<br />
End Date: (around Nov. 2013)<br />
<br />
Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

: ''The site originally used the domain 4chanarchives.cu.cc until December 19th, 2015. The admin of the First 4archive.org bequeathed the domain to the Bibliotheca Anonoma, who provided it to 4chanarchives.cu.cc.''<br />
<br />
'''[http://4archive.org 4archive.org]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the first 4archive, which closed on May 2015. It also scrapes certain boards on 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts]. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4archive.org welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the First 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />

Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain, or rehost archives that would otherwise have disappeared.<br />
<br />
=== 4chanarchives.cu.cc ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chanarchives.cu.cc<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]<br />

<br />
'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />
=== 4chan Flash archive ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchive.net 4chanarchive.net], formerly [http://4chandata.org 4chandata.org]<br />

| archiving_status = {{inprogress}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== MLP Generals Archive ===<br />
<br />
Every /mlp/ general thread ever made.<br />

<br />
=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110420045345/http://www.lurkmoarpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lurkmoarpedia]''' - Some sort of ED clone; not to be confused for LURKMORE.<br />
* '''[http://dramatica.org.ua/%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%96%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0 Dramatica Ukraine]'''<br />

== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />
<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />
<br />
[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

All of its content was transferred with the rest of Foolz's data to archive.moe.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />

<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain, or rehost archives that would otherwise have disappeared.<br />
<br />
=== 4chanarchives.cu.cc ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chanarchives.cu.cc<br />
| image = 4chanarchives-cu-cc.png<br />
| URL = [http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]<br />

<br />
'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />

<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110420045345/http://www.lurkmoarpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lurkmoarpedia]''' - Some sort of ED clone; not to be confused for LURKMORE.<br />

== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />
<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

fgts.jp suffered an irrecoverable hard drive crash in April 2015, causing all data archived before then to be lost. On the flip side, it will be importing Archive.moe's /vp/ archive.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />
<br />
[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. Using this method, 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived in November 2015. See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram] for more information.<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10). See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram]<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /u/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />

The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013.

<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />
** A customized version of the original Fuuka code is still utilized by RebeccaBlackTech.<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] - Re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper in Java, with some significant improvements.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements, including an improved theme. Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />

* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this site shut down on May 7, 2015. The admin provided a MySQL Dump, which the [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] mirrored to the Internet Archive here:<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10). See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram]<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/, etc.), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/, etc.).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding".

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this site shut down on May 7, 2015. The admin provided a MySQL Dump, which the [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] mirrored to the Internet Archive here:<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10). See the [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png 4chanarchives.cu.cc Archiving Diagram]<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />

== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />

They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival. This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />

Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />

* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />

<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />

=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
Start Date: (before June 2013)<br />
End Date: (around Nov. 2013)<br />
<br />
Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts], though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival, [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png following the procedure in this diagram.] This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

All of its content was transferred with the rest of Foolz's data to archive.moe.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts[, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival, [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png following the procedure in this diagram.] This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and has subpar CPU/RAM performance these days.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />

<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />

It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />

== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />
<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />

* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

fgts.jp suffered an irrecoverable hard drive crash in April 2015, causing all data archived before then to be lost. On the flip side, it will be importing Archive.moe's /vp/ archive.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the 4archive Lumen framework and [http://pastebin.com/X9UVR6fc some custom PHP scripts[, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. For the first month1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* In the future there will be an efficient system built from scratch for user submitted thread archival, [https://i.imgur.com/WXcf4OY.png following the procedure in this diagram.] This will be a definite improvement over Fuuka and Asagi, which predate the 4chan API, and is famed for subpar CPU/RAM performance.<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's subscription paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse.

<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives.

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />

<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using a heavily modified version of the [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework] and some custom PHP scripts, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json`. 1TB of images and 9 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's $100/month paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />

Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />

It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan.

* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />

If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads).

<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />
** A customized version of the original Fuuka code is still utilized by RebeccaBlackTech.<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] - Re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper in Java, with some significant improvements.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements, including an improved theme. Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />

* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />

They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />
<br />
[http://blog.loveisover.me/?cat=3 Has assumed responsibility of boards formerly curated by archive.nyafuu.org] /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/, as of November 2014, but full image support (except for /e/) was temporarily disabled. <br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive, and various other dead and defunct 4chan archivers, rescued from dumps on the Internet Archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using the [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework] and some custom PHP scripts, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json` 1TB of images and 500 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's $100/month paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />
| image = 4chandata.png<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />

Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />

=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements, including an improved theme. Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Another site that saves threads on a unique platform, starting at January 17 2014. This site is notable as it was the only site archiving /b/ until 2015. Images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

Foolzashit was an archiver for /adv/, /asp/, /cm/, /e/, /i/, /lgbt/, /n/, /o/, /p/, /s/, /s4s/ (since it's inception), /t/, /trv/, /y/ .<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />
<br />
It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive, and various other dead and defunct 4chan archivers, rescued from dumps on the Internet Archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using the [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework] and some custom PHP scripts, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json` 1TB of images and 500 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's $100/month paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />
<br />
''The admin is online 24/7 on irc.rizon.net at #4chanarchives and #bibanon (nickname: Bloo_SemiAFK)''<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support.

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />

In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />

* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain.<br />
<br />
=== 4chanarchives.cu.cc ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chanarchives.cu.cc<br />
| image = 4chanarchives.png<br />

'''[http://4chanarchives.cu.cc 4chanarchives.cu.cc]''' was created by Bloo in mid-2015. It currently is the only site displaying 4chan threads from the former 4archive, and various other dead and defunct 4chan archivers, rescued from dumps on the Internet Archive. It also scrapes threads from 4chan regularly using the [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework] and some custom PHP scripts, though an on-demand thread archival system is in the works. <br />
<br />
This site is notable as it is one of the few self-sustaining, for profit 4chan archivers (using ads). It's a different approach, but at least it keeps the admin motivated enough to deal with floods of DMCA reports for spicy content. There hasn't been an archiver like it since the Chanarchive, and at the very least, 4chanarchives.cu.cc welcomes as many users and as much data as possible.<br />
<br />
* The admin aims to regularly archive all threads from all NSFW boards on 4chan, and some SFW boards. This is achieved by scraping the 4chan API's `archive.json` and `boards.json` 1TB of images and 500 million posts have been archived to date using this method (2015-10).<br />
* When it comes to ads, SFW ads will appear on the frontpage and SFW boards (/a/, /v/, /trv/), while NSFW ads will only appear on NSFW boards (/b/, /h/, /s/, /gif/).<br />
* Just like it's predecessor, the 4archive, all full size images are saved using Imgur's $100/month paid plan. Bloo has also rescued more than 632k images from Imageshack (which was shutting down their free service) to Imgur via MashapeAPI.<br />
* The admin is working on setting up a 1:1 version of Archive.moe, just as it was before the day it died. He has plans to someday convert the 4Archive's DB to fit the Fuuka DB structure.<br />
<br />
''The admin is online 24/7 on irc.rizon.net at #4chanarchives and #bibanon (nickname: Bloo_SemiAFK)''<br />

=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />
=== 4chan Flash archive ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

| archiving_status = {{nosavedyet}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />
=== Sup/tg/ ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />
=== 4chandata/4chanarchive ===<br />
{{Infobox project<br />
| title = 4chandata<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />
<br />
=== Fybertech 4archive ===<br />
<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== MLP Generals Archive ===<br />
<br />
Every /mlp/ general thread ever made.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan. Maintains a wiki that strives to restore Wikichan to it's former state. <s>As of 1/16/14, the archival portion of the site is down.</s> The archives have been moved in their entirety to the [http://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260 Stanford Digital Library].<br />
* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />
* '''[http://www.lurkmore.com/view/Main_page LURKMORE Wiki]''' - Rarely updated wiki that shifted focus to camgirls; still holds reference material and anecdotes to early 4chan culture.<br />
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110420045345/http://www.lurkmoarpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lurkmoarpedia]''' - Some sort of ED clone; not to be confused for LURKMORE.<br />
* '''[http://dramatica.org.ua/%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%96%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0 Dramatica Ukraine]'''<br />
<br />
== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />
<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

<br />
Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />

Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost.

A Fuuka archiver covering /sp/, picking up where archive.moe left off after the April Uprising. They have integrated the [https://archive.org/details/archive.moe-sp-archive-2014.12.16 Internet Archive] collection to kick off their archival efforts.<br />
<br />
totally.not4plebs.org eventually merged it's /sp/ archive with 4plebs.org itself.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4plebs is shedding all full-sized images dating before April 2014, about 240GBs worth of data, due to storage limits. We need to retrieve this data and put it on the Internet Archive for safekeeping. <br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma has recieved the pruned images from 4plebs via tar piping, and will be uploading to the Internet Archive shortly.<br />

== Method 1: Web Scraping ==<br />
<br />
Using wget, we just scrape the images off the server. It's not elegant, but it works, and thankfully [http://img.4plebs.org/boards/o/image/to_be_removed_in_order.txt the admin has provided some image lists.] (change board name in URL to view another list) This will take about a month at least, and that's assuming we're scraping in parallel. The following bash script is used:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
!/bin/bash<br />
board="tg"<br />
wget http://img.4plebs.org/boards/$board/image/to_be_removed_in_order.txt<br />
sed -e 's|^./|http://img.4plebs.org/boards/$board/image/|g' -i to_be_removed_in_order.txt<br />
wget -b --tries=10 -nc -c -i to_be_removed_in_order.txt --user-agent="Bibliotheca Anonoma Website Archiver/1.1 (+http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki)" -w 1<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Web Scraping ETA ==<br />
<br />
Below are rough estimates for scraping time, procedurally calculated based on the amount of images listed. <br />
<br />
These were intentionally overestimated to ensure that my VPS actually had enough space and time, but actually the time estimates are off by a factor of 9, since it only took 15 hours to scrape 5GBs of data (from /s4s/), not 6 days. Maybe it should be 1.1 seconds, rather than 2? We used a delay just to be polite.<br />
<br />

<br />
* 2 second Average Download Time (includes 1 second delay)<br />

<br />
== Method 2: tar Piping ==<br />
<br />
Web scraping does eat up bandwidth and take quite a long time. A better method is to pipe a tar archive from their host server to our (dedicated) server. Yes you heard that right, the tar backup is ''stored directly on the remote server'', not on the host server. <br />
<br />
That way, the host server doesn't have to store a redundant backup that could be massive. Instead, just spit it at our server directly.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
tar -c /path/to/dir | ssh remote_server 'tar -xvf - -C /absolute/path/to/remotedir'<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This would only take about a week or so to transfer 240GBs of data, and reduces the amount of overhead on the web server from requesting 330,000 files: we only send one continuous stream of data.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />
* /trash/ - Off-Topic (hidden board; threads are moved from other boards by staff)<br />

<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

<br />
Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain.<br />
<br />
=== 4zip ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

| URL = [http://4zip.org 4zip.org]<br />
| project_status = {{online}}<br />
| archiving_status = {{saved}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A site that saves threads using the shiny new [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework], starting in mid-2015. This site is notable as users submit threads to archive, and full size images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />

<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />
** A customized version of the original Fuuka code is still utilized by RebeccaBlackTech.<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] - Re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper in Java, with some significant improvements.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements, including an improved theme. Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />

* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

<br />
When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

Archive.moe was a union of archivists that inherited the boards of Archive.Foolz.us. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when it was founded and while Foolz was transferring data to them in 2014, [https://twitter.com/ArchiveMoe/status/512991440608043009 a mishap occurred] whereby the vast majority of thumbnails, let alone full images from before 2014, were lost. Some of /a/'s images were recovered using dumps from Easymodo, but the ramifications of this failed transfer have deeply negative effects for generations down the line.<br />
<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

<br />
4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

'''GitHub''' is a software repository powered by Git. Does not seem to have any site issues, often 24 hours uptime (see [http://status.github.com/ site status]). Looks pretty sunny at the moment, but when disaster strikes it would be a problem archiving the private repositories.<br />
<br />
As of 12th August 2012: 1,963,652 people hosting over 3,460,582 repositories [https://github.com/search?type=Repositories&q=fork%3Atrue 1,117,147 public repositories] are forks, which greatly reduces the amount of data required to archive it.<br />
<br />
== Backup tools ==<br />
<br />
"git clone" is the simplest one. However, it does not get some project data that is not stored in git, including issue reports, comments, pull requests. <br />
<br />
[http://github.com/joeyh/github-backup github-backup] runs in a git repository and chases down that information, <br />
committing it to a "github" branch. It also chases down the forks and efficiently downloads them as well.<br />
<br />
[http://www.githubarchive.org/ githubarchive.org] is creating an archive of the github "timeline", that is, all events like git pushes, forks, created issues, pull requests, … .<br />
<br />
== Github Replacement Engines ==<br />
<br />
If we ever have to archive the data out of Github, the data will need to be exportable to a Github-style engine.<br />
<br />
Currently, the best Github-style engine that has a Wiki, issues, Git Repo hosting, and is free and open source to use is [http://gitlab.com GitLab]. The engine is used by and paid for by many major organizations, so it is likely to live on in a stable way.<br />
<br />
We will need a complete migration system to move a git repository and all related Github service information of a repository to GitLab.<br />
<br />
=== Things to Scrape ===<br />
<br />
In case of emergency, these are the items we need to grab.<br />
<br />
* Git Repository - Accomplished by [http://github.com/joeyh/github-backup github-backup]<br />
** Forked Repositories - Accomplished by [http://github.com/joeyh/github-backup github-backup]<br />
** '''Notes on Commits/Lines of Code''' - Not supported by github-backup yet. API support was just added for it.<br />
* '''Github Gollum Wiki''' - No tool yet, but just clone the whole thing, and then push it to GitLab.<br />
* '''Releases''' - Tags on Github can have binaries attached. These are of high priority to archive.<br />
<br />
=== Github Archive ===<br />
<br />
The metadata generated by the Github API are archived to Google BigQuery every hour by [https://www.githubarchive.org/ GithubArchive]. <br />
<br />
It obviously doesn't grab events '''dating before 2011''', so a targeted repository scrape may still be ideal.<br />
<br />
But at least it could be possible to grab all info about a single repository using Google BigQuery's free version, since it would use a low amount of CPU power. However, we need to create such an export script for it when the time comes.<br />
<br />

'''GitHub''' is a software repository powered by Git. Does not seem to have any site issues, often 24 hours uptime (see [http://status.github.com/ site status]). Looks pretty sunny at the moment, but when disaster strikes it would be a problem archiving the private repositories.<br />
<br />
As of 12th August 2012: 1,963,652 people hosting over 3,460,582 repositories [https://github.com/search?type=Repositories&q=fork%3Atrue 1,117,147 public repositories] are forks, which greatly reduces the amount of data required to archive it.<br />
<br />
== Backup tools ==<br />
<br />
"git clone" is the simplest one. However, it does not get some project data that is not stored in git, including issue reports, comments, pull requests. <br />
<br />
[http://github.com/joeyh/github-backup github-backup] runs in a git repository and chases down that information, <br />
committing it to a "github" branch. It also chases down the forks and efficiently downloads them as well.<br />
<br />
[http://www.githubarchive.org/ githubarchive.org] is creating an archive of the github "timeline", that is, all events like git pushes, forks, created issues, pull requests, … .<br />
<br />
== Github Replacement Engines ==<br />
<br />
If we ever have to archive the data out of Github, the data will need to be exportable to a Github-style engine.<br />
<br />
Currently, the best Github-style engine that has a Wiki, issues, Git Repo hosting, and is free and open source to use is [http://gitlab.com GitLab]. The engine is used by and paid for by many major organizations, so it is likely to live on in a stable way.<br />
<br />
We will need a complete migration system to move a git repository and all related Github service information of a repository to GitLab.<br />
<br />

* '''Github Gollum Wiki''' - No tool yet, but just clone the whole thing, and then push it to GitLab.<br />

<br />
4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
* '''2015-10-07 - Archive.moe: 410 Gone''' - Archive.moe announced their shutdown today effective immediately after hardware issues wiped their database. They are currently offering [https://archive.org/details/archive-moe-database-201506 a dump of their text database], that goes up to June 2015, the last working backup. Images are on the way, but due to the large size (over 10 TB) it's taking some time.<br />
** [https://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/282229#p282933 An anon who has apparently been running his own personal archive of every board] has offered to upload the data from the four missing months, but it's going to take a while to finish uploading everything. As of this writing, /vp/ has been uploaded (check the thread for links). [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] has offered to give assistance, no word on whether or not he's taken it up.<br />
** <br />
* 2015-09-19 [[4chan/4plebs|4plebs Purge]] (Archived!) - Removing full images older than 18 months (before April 2014) as of September, 2015, due to low storage space. Obtained the data, now working to upload the whole set to the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
=== Past ===<br />
<br />
* dis.4chan.org - 4chan's 2ch-style text boards. All posts from the beginning of the forum's existence are archived, unlike most of 4chan. Therefore, it gives a rare historic snapshot of 4chan's past. <br />
** Taken down for good on July 26, 2015, [http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1397949784/34 archived in full by a anonymous /prog/ user] ([https://archive.org/details/@ghonsonb3120 archive.org]).<br />
* /rs/ - 4chan's filesharing link search board. All filesharing links ever posted to any 4chan board have been recorded here.<br />
** As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.As of 04-08-2014, Moot is retiring the Filesharing search board (/rs/) and the Discussion boards (dis.4chan.org). The Discussion boards are being hidden from the main site, but kept in a read-only state; this could be a good Warrior/Wget side project.<br />
** Not sure if it is still available... Seems to be down with no archives ever made. Could have a few snapshots on the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
== Scripts ==<br />
<br />
Some scripts you can use to archive 4chan threads yourself.<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC Archiver] - Python-based 4chan Thread Archiver for Windows/Mac OS X/Linux. Archives everything: Images, Thumbnails, Thread HTML, JSON, etc.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Make your own 4chan board archiver website. Fuuka will grab every single thread from 4chan and save it for later public access.<br />
<br />
== Fuuka-based Archivers ==<br />
<br />
: '''Fun Fact''': ''Asagi is the eldest of the Ayase sisters. Fuuka is the middle sister. The Ayase family lives next door to Yotsuba. Get it?'' - [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi#whats-with-the-name eksopl]<br />
<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />
<br />
=== Boards not currently archived via Fuuka ===<br />
<br />
* /j/ - Janitor & Moderator Discussion (staff board; obviously not archivable)<br />
** Some parts of the board have been archived thanks to various leaks throughout the years, a collection of all known files from /j/ can be downloaded [https://mega.co.nz/#!EFVUGSZa!duVWgDwLD2FlXOOdwa9uWjQtO6AlSbKVt7nq2bI5-VY here].<br />

This site was nominated by [[Bibliotheca Anonoma]] as the primary successor to archive.moe and is currently in the process of importing content from the late site. It currently archives /a/, /aco/, /c/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /his/, /int/, /k/, /m/, /mlp/, /q/, /qa/, /r9k/, /tg/, /vr/ and /wsg/.<br />
<br />
Desustorage also has a private Archiver of Last Resort running in parallel that archives all 4chan boards privately, as insurance against the possibility of a 4chan archiver site collapsing in the future.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

It temporarily shut down on August 27, 2014, and all the boards were [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json/commit/832ead70a62f6785611e093f922d94d9fdb58cd5 inherited safely by archive.loveisover.me.]<br />
<br />
Now that Nyafuu has come back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has returned all archives back to Nyafuu.<br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A site that saves threads using the shiny new [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework], starting in mid-2015. This site is notable as users submit threads to archive, and full size images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />

<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />

A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />

<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />

<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive."

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />

Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

<br />
'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

<br />
They announced their shutdown on 2015-10-07, after a server outage wiped their database, with the admin believing he is no longer fit for the job.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />

4chan is said to be one of the most significant and "interesting" websites in existence. It has a unique anonymous imageboard posting system, and has a disproportionate influence on English-language internet culture.<br />
<br />
The website eventually deletes threads after they reach a bump limit. However, numerous archive sites and wikis have taken up the task of saving threads and images. Numerous others have fallen. We need to keep watch on these fragile, community supported archives, since they can easily collapse without warning.<br />

<br />
'''Fuuka''' is a 4chan board dumper that allows servers to archive entire boards on 4chan. [https://code.google.com/p/fuuka/ It was invented] by '''Anonymous of Russia''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) and improved by [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525001818/http://code.google.com/u/eksopl/ eksopl] ([https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Github]). [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] is a re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper (in Java) with some significant improvements. Created by eksopl.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] is a significantly improved fork of Fuuka & Asagi, (still being) developed by the FoolCode Team: with a better theme, better design, performance optimization, post-thread comments and even a fully functional imageboard, It is used by Archive.moe, and various others.<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to persuade these archivers to upload database dumps to the Internet Archive, just in the very likely case that some disaster befalls them.<br />
<br />
The 4chan-X extension [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/archives.json maintains an updated list of all Fuuka Archivers], as well as their start and end dates. Very useful.<br />

Note: The /sp/ archive was indirectly inherited from Foolz.us/Archive.moe, as they stopped archiving the board after it got spammed with CP in a user revolt. Archive.moe posted backups, but the board was not archived for much of late 2014/early 2015. Eventually, totally.not4plebs.org imported the /sp/ archive and started again in mid-2015, and was later merged into 4plebs.org. Unfortunately, many thumbnails were lost in the transfer to Archive.moe from Foolz.us.<br />
<br />
==== Image Purges ====<br />
<br />
4plebs has been forced to purge full images at various points in it's lifetime, due to low storage space.<br />
<br />
Currently, 4plebs plans to purge all full images from before April 2014 (18 months). This is about 240GBs of images. We need to receive the whole set from them and upload it to the Internet Archive for safekeeping.<br />

A Fuuka archiver for /c/, /e/, /w/, and /wg/, provides full image archiving, created by [https://github.com/voh VoH]. /e/ is NSFW. <br />

A pure NSFW Fuuka archiver for /d/, /i/, /lgbt/, and /u/, created by Blade. It also inherited the [https://archive.loveisover.me/t/thread/522650/#585860 archive.mawa.re /t/ archive.]<br />

<br />
Now that Nyafuu is coming back (as of 2015-02-11), loveisover.me has given them the archives of /c/, /e/, /w/, /wg/. It no longer hosts /w/ and /wg/, but still keeps /c/ and /e/.<br />

== Selective Archives ==<br />
<br />
These websites archive a selection of threads that users vote to retain.<br />
<br />
=== 4zip ===<br />
<br />
{{Infobox project<br />

| URL = [http://4zip.org 4zip.org]<br />
| project_status = {{online}}<br />
| archiving_status = {{saved}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
A site that saves threads using the shiny new [https://github.com/4archive/4archive 4archive Lumen framework], starting in mid-2015. This site is notable as users submit threads to archive, and full size images are stored separately through Imgur and Imageshack.<br />
<br />
=== Swfchan ===<br />
<br />
[http://swfchan.org Swfchan] is a massive Flash archive that scrapes and archives flashes from the 4chan /f/ board (among other places). 163831 have been saved as of 2015-02-11. <br />
<br />
These flashes are an important artistic record of the culture back in the day. <br />
<br />
However, it's funding situation is a bit precarious and relies heavily on pop-up ads and donations to stay alive. It's worth making a contingency backup of the site someday.<br />
<br />
=== Dagobah ===<br />
<br />
[http://dagobah.net/ Dagobah], another Flash archive strongly associated with 4chan. Also has a ton of 2ch flashes by extension.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A small archive of Flash files related to 4chan culture. Run by 4chan and updated very rarely by the staff. The archive was originally started to stop users from posting the same flashes over and over again; any file on the page is not allowed to be posted on /f/.<br />
<br />

<br />
A site created by /tg/ members in 2009, it has a considerable community of its own, providing reviews and RPG materials. sup/tg/ has a uniquely crated archive with full image support. Unlike most other archives listed, moderators conduct routine purges of low-rated threads, a process they refer to as "graveyarding". The only other site that had a similar policy was Chanarchive, but they deleted threads while they were incoming.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
A considerably wide cross-section of 4chan's SFW boards, starting at August 8 2012. Ironically, despite being an imageboard archive, the site itself is unwilling to host images due to the possibility of legal issues surrounding content. While there is content overlap with the Fuuka-based archivers, the site's good to include for the sake of completeness. 4chandata was supplanted by 4chanarchive.net, and both sites appear to be in a precarious hosting situation with archiving coming to a sudden halt on November 20th 2014.<br />
<br />
* On 2015-02-25, an ArchiveBot session was started for both 4chanData.org and 4chanarchive.net, to scrape all thread text and upload it to the Wayback Machine before it disappears for good.<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/2013_10_25_4chandata 100GB 4chandata.org Image Archive] - An anon [http://badcheese.com/~steve/atlogs/?chan=archiveteam&day=2013-10-28 uploaded a full backup] of over 100GBs of image data from this site before the images were deleted permanently.<br />
<br />
=== 4walled & nik.bot.nu ===<br />
<br />
Two successors to 4scrape that inherited it's data.<br />
<br />
* [4walled] - Archives /hr/, /w/, /wg/ but images only.<br />
* [https://nik.bot.nu/ nik.bot.nu] - Archives images from various imageboards around the world, including 4chan.<br />

<br />
Status: <span style="color: green;">'''Online'''</span><br />
Archived?:<span style="color: green;">'''Yes'''</span>, currently up to 2015-02-16. Archive again in two months.<br />
<br />
Fybertech has one of the largest collections of 2008-2014 4chan threads, outside of the fallen Chanarchive and the modern 4archive. It archives any thread referenced in it's IRC channel, apparently.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.org/details/fybertech Internet Archive - FyberTech Archive 2015-02-16] The Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a contingency backup of all 9GBs of threads (up to 2015-02-16) to the Internet Archive.<br />

=== Wikis ===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]''' - The quintessential 4chan wiki.<br />
* '''[[Insurgency Wiki]]''' - Once, it was almost equal to ED in power and influence. Now, thousands of collapses and failures have reduced it to a broken mess. It would have been gone entirely if it was not for the Bibliotheca Anonoma, which happened to be examining Partyvan.info 2 days before it's collapse.<br />
* '''[https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki Bibliotheca Anonoma]''' - A wiki designed to save the greatest treasures from around the internet. It strives to provide an index to the archives below to assess their value and display great works to the public. Because what good is a massive mess of information without a guide? <br />
* '''[http://youtsubasociety.org Yotsuba Society]''' - A place dedicated to studying the culture of 4chan.

* '''[[Wikichan]]''' - The first major 4chan wiki, holding tons of important stories and content. It is the model for many 4chan archive projects to come. The entire wiki collapsed spectacularly several times without recourse, and is the prime example of the problems that occur when a major 4chan archive goes down.<br />

== Handmade Archives ==<br />
<br />
4chan thread archives made thanks to the commands: "Right-click, Save As." <br />
<br />
If you want to do this in the future, please use the [http://github.com/bibanon/BASC-Archiver BASC-Archiver] (saves everything, full images, thumbnails, HTML, JSON, even child threads). "Right-click, Save As" isn't all that efficient and fails to save the full sized images, so please use the script.<br />
<br />
=== Yotsuba Society Archives ===<br />
<br />
The Yotsuba Society's 4Chan Archive, including separate Imageboard threads /a/, /cgl/, /vg/. <br />
<br />
According to the included [https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tf565pz4260/A%20message%20from%20Jkid.txt Message from Jkid:] "The following .rar consists of every thread collected from 4chan from my personal archives which were intergrated into the (Yotsuba Society Archives from the Start in 2011) from 2008 to August 2013. Some of these files predate the fuuka archivers that currently exist today to archive almost every thread of every board with the exception of /b/ for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
From 2011 to August 2013 the Yotsuba Society Archives existed to preserve threads from 4chan and every other imageboard in the English chanverse, plus some threads from the Russian and Japanese chanverse. At it's peak, the Archives were the most visited part of the Yotsuba Society website, and the most popular part of the site were the direct downloads of the moot video archive." The message also includes information about the history of this collection.<br />

=== Penfifteen Archive ===<br />
<br />
In 2013, [http://rx.vyrd.net/ Vyrd discovered that] some anon (whose native language is Finnish) had this curious, undocumented public archive of very, very early handarchived threads from 4chan (along with many other period-appropriate .swfs, videos, and images), spanning all the way from 2004-2008.<br />
<br />
Apparently this may have simply been a personal home server that made it's files publicly accessible.<br />
<br />
This repository is known as the Penfifteen Archive, and is the most important discovery of early 4chan threads to date. [http://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki The Bibliotheca Anonoma] has preserved it in the Internet Archive for future generations to enjoy.<br />

<br />
== History of the Fuuka Archiver ==<br />
<br />
The ability to archive every thread on a 4chan board was the most influential innovation in 4chan's infrastructure. This idea was a violently controversial shift of consciousness in it's heyday, because it nullifies one of the drawbacks (or benefits) of 4chan: ''the ability to forget.'' <br />
<br />
While 2channel, based on a textboard, could archive years worth of threads for future generations, 4chan threads get constantly pruned due to the expense of storing image data. Moot, [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Moot%27s-Final-4chan-Q&A-Transcript#130---140 as he states in his Farewell Livestream], developed the ''Salmon Ladder Observation'' as an explanation for early 4chan's success. Essentially, like Alaskan Salmon climbing a rocky stream, only the strongest memes would be remembered and reposted, while poor content was forgotten entirely. Based on this principle, 4chan became the center of Internet Culture from 2005-2007, constantly generating memetic content by bumping the best and saging the worst. Thus, Moot was not opposed to archival by democratic vote, but was uncomfortable with the idea of complete board archival: ''Moot knew indefinite archival would transform 4chan's culture entirely.''<br />
<br />
Thus, from 2006-2013, the 4chanarchive/Chanarchive was built upon this same principle, requiring at least 5 users to vote for a thread to be archived. The 4chanarchive held nearly 500GBs worth of 4chan threads spanning 6-8 years. In 2012, the 4chanarchive was transferred to Edgeworth E. Euler (E), who was involved with the new Encyclopedia Dramatica (recovered by Anonymous' OpSaveED). Unfortunately, around 2013, Edgeworth E. Euler mysteriously went MIA, taking his server access keys to the grave. The admins were legally powerless to rescue the site when the hard drives failed, resulting in the complete, unrecoverable loss of the Chanarchive.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of the Chanarchive, users of 4chan started to realize that loss of memory was detrimental to their board's subculture. The most gravely affected board was /x/, which lost all of it's creepypasta, and /b/, which saw it's legendary raids and stories disappear into the sunset. Notably, /a/ and /jp/, which used a full Fuuka Archive, made it through intact (unfortunately, the early threads only have thumbnails). As a result, the idea of complete board archival was no longer looked down upon. Most of the larger boards gained their own Fuuka archives and some wikis in the aftermath.<br />
<br />
In his final livestream, Moot states that the spirit of 4chan has changed over time, and accepts that today's users want the ability to continue discussion and have general threads. Moot noted that 4chan was becoming more than just a "zany, fun place to hang out, to be creative": ''4chan was now a keystone tool for socialization between anonymous interest groups.'' To ease the burden on it's servers and increase performance, Moot released the 4chan API for use by archivers and mobile apps. Closed threads now live on for at least 7 days on certain boards. And not long after Moot's retirement, (thanks to falling costs of server storage space), all 4chan boards have gained their own Fuuka archive.<br />

=== Fuuka Archiver Variants ===<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/fuuka Fuuka] - The original board dumper, written in Perl with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards.<br />
** A customized version of the original Fuuka code is still utilized by RebeccaBlackTech.<br />
* [https://github.com/eksopl/asagi Asagi] - Re-implementation of the Fuuka dumper in Java, with some significant improvements.<br />
* [https://github.com/FoolCode/FoolFuuka FoolFuuka] - Re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements, including an improved theme. Originally created by the FoolCode Team for the Foolz Archive, it is now the preferred engine for today's Fuuka Archivers. The Asagi dumper is used to actually retrieve the threads.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous of Russia ===<br />
<br />
Today, FoolFuuka is the primary scraping engine used to archive 4chan. The Fuuka engine, needed to scrape 4chan efficiently and effectively, did not come out of nowhere. It evolved through hard work and constant refactoring by hundreds of individuals over the course of 8 years and counting.<br />
<br />
It was first invented by '''Anonymous of Russia Federation (AoRF)''' (aka [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524173230/http://code.google.com/u/andrey.osenenko/ Andrey Osenenko]) in December 2007 to archive all /a/ threads on his home server, ''The /a/rchive'': http://no-info.no-ip.info/ . 4chan's /a/ was a friendly environment to start an indefinite archiver, as archival allowed general threads to maintain continuity, and helped speedsub groups that used the board for group coordination. Unfortunately, due to ''unknown offenses'', [https://archive.moe/a/thread/9300010/#9302402_2 his ISP was subnet banned] and that server went offline. All three months of /a/ threads from 2007-2008 were lost.<br />

'''Start Date:''' Sometime in 2008 (older than /jp/)<br />
'''Shutdown Date:''' Around 2012<br />
<br />
AoRF passed on the source code for his site to a fellow /a/non called [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo Eksopl] in a RAR-embedded image. Eksopl spruced up the code in English and built the new /a/rchive at http://archive.doesntexist.org/ . When /jp/ was made in 2008, Eksopl set up a second server to archive it from birth (it did not yet support multiple boards).<br />
<br />
In October 2008, the /a/non who supplied Eksopl with his servers could no longer support the cost of bandwidth. Eksopl made a partnership with Taro (who ran 4scrape, which archived 4chan images from boards) to host the /a/rchive. Since the archive.doesntexist.org domain was a free DynDNS URL which didn't support CNAMEs, Eksopl gave the /a/rchive a spare domain: easymodo.net.<br />
<br />
'''Easymodo''' archived /a/, /jp/ (from birth), /m/, /sci/, /tg/, and /tv/. Eksopl's two archives of /a/ and /jp/ are the oldest Fuuka archives that still exist. These archives were inherited by the Foolz Archive, and are now under the care of Archive.moe.<br />
<br />
In early 2009, AoRF returned to improve Easymodo's source code, and gave it a new name: '''Fuuka'''. One of Fuuka's defining features: "Ghost Posting", was added. (This feature allows /a/nons to write comments on old threads years afterwards). AoRF set up a test server at http://no-info.no-ip.info/ again to stress test the Fuuka engine. When the new and improved Fuuka was ready for release, Eksopl used his own servers to host Easymodo, using the same domain name and same archive data.<br />
<br />
Eventually, /m/ and /tg/ would also be archived by Easymodo. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive built for /tv/ and /g/. Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011; By then Easymodo was better equipped, so it took over Green-oval's /a/ archives. However, to reduce server strain, the search function was disabled for /a/. <br />
<br />
While Eksopl eventually implemented SphinxSearch into Fuuka, Easymodo shut down in Oct 2011, with /a/, /jp/, /m/, and /tg/ archived. When Easymodo shut down, [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Eksopl made it's archives public in a torrent.] '''To whomever still has the Easymodo archive dumps: Please upload it to the Internet Archive.''' (Unfortunately, Eksopl no longer has it.) These archives were essential when Archive.moe accidentally lost it's thumbnails, and should not be lost ever again.<br />
<br />
* [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Source: Easymodo Info Page]<br />
* Eksopl gives [http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:4chan#Eksopl.27s_Story_of_Fuuka_and_Easymodo a full history of Easymodo and the early days of the Fuuka Archiver here.]<br />
* [https://twitter.com/MayhemYDG/status/565326134607609857 Mayhem] states that the reason the [https://archive.today/Ec1nf Easymodo Info Page] states for /a/: ''"Easymodo <- Green-Oval <- Easymodo"'' is because [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/easymodo/order/asc/ Easymodo came first], [https://archive.moe/a/search/text/%22green%20oval%20net%22/order/asc/ transferred it's /a/ archive] around 2010 to [https://github.com/MayhemYDG/4chan-x/commit/73dadbfe2718b62fa4ec539012f28b3bc925c509 Green-Oval later on], and [https://archive.moe/a/thread/51438731/#51439167 then had to take it back when Green-Oval shut down].<br />

Green-oval.net was a Fuuka archiver that used AoRF/Eksopl's source code to archive /tv/ and /g/. It later adopted /sci/. However, on June 2010, the old /a/rchive was straining Eksopl's servers, so he transferred /a/ to green-oval.net, a fellow archive originally built for /tv/ and /g/. When Green-oval started having troubles in July 2011, Easymodo took over it's /a/ archives. Installgentoo.net inherited it's /tv/ and /g/ archives, which are now under the care of RebeccaBlackTech.<br />

When Easymodo announced that it's longtime /a/ archive would be shut down, '''Woxxy''' (part of the Foolz Scanlation Team) managed to obtain Easymodo's backups and continue where it left off. Later on, the FoolCode developers created, (and are still maintaining) **FoolFuuka**, a significantly improved version of the original Fuuka Archiver.<br />
<br />
Foolz also assumed the boards formerly archived by The Dark Cave, InstallGentoo (/g/, /diy/, /sci/), and Deniable Plausibility (/v/, /vg/).<br />
<br />
While Foolz.us was one of the first Fuuka Archivers to retain full-size images, it would periodically prune these images to save space.<br />
<br />
On August 14, 2014, Foolz.us announced that [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/14/foolz-archives-farewell/ the service would shut down.] The entire archive was spun off and transferred to the newly-built [https://blog.foolz.us/2014/08/17/new-archive-owner-found/ Archive.moe.]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, a mishap occurred where most of the thumbnails obtained by Archive.moe were lost forever: By the time the staff noticed that the transfer failed, foolz.net was already deleted. ''(need more info on this)''<br />

All of its content was transferred with the rest of Foolz's data to archive.moe.<br />

An archiver for /v/ and /vg/. It may have started and suddenly stopped sometime in Summer 2014. <br />
<br />
Foolz already archived the same date range, so nothing of value was lost. Though it would be nice if someone had the archives from this site, it could be used to restore /v/ and /vg/ thumbnails on Archive.moe.<br />

A Fuuka archiver that started with /gif/, /int/, /jp/, /out/, presumably around 2014-08-09.<br />
<br />
It's resumed archiving all boards originally covered by Heinessen (/an/, /fit/, /gif/, /mlp/, /r9k/, /sp/, /toy/) except /k/ and /x/. Unfortunately, only /fit/ and /mlp/ contain Heinessen's full archival history prior to 2014, since the rest were not backed up. (though Heinessen's /r9k/ history was inherited by Archive.moe).<br />
<br />
It used to archive /sp/, but stopped in the aftermath of the /sp/ April Uprising.<br />
<br />
The owner, tali, abandoned archival and did not provide backups before deleting all data. What a tragedy.<br />

'''WorldAthleticProject''' was an archiver for the boards /cm/, /s/, /con/, /e/, /h/, /hc/, /soc/, /s4s/, /d/, /pol/, /adv/, /trv/, /lgbt/, /r/, /u/, and /y/.<br />
<br />
This archiver also attempted to make a Fuuka vertabrim archive of /b/. Unfortunately, given that /b/tards are a feisty bunch and post CP from time to time (and deletions are difficult to transfer to the archiver), despite having a decent report system, the owner probably wiped all data in a panic when the partyvan came to his door.<br />
<br />
Apparently reports aren't enough, you need to log users as well, as fgts,jp will tell you [https://fgts.jp/_/articles/b/ in their archive.]<br />
<br />
This is the most significant loss of data since the Chanarchive. We need to catalog what was lost (check archival start dates), and possibly recover some bits via Internet Archeology on the Wayback Machine.<br />

This archive was built by an anon after Foolz stopped archiving /vg/ for a few months. He obtained the backups of /vg/ from Foolz and rehosted it on his own server. However, he had inadequate hardware for the large amount of traffic, search didn't always work, and eventually when Foolz gained better infrastructure, they were able to start archiving /vg/ again, so this archive closed.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether the data gathered here was transferred to Foolz, or simply lost.<br />

Unfortunately, it was lost in it's entirety and backups were not made, so all /s4s/ posts predating Nov. 2013 (when 4plebs.org began archiving) are lost.<br />

4chan's primary archive site. Since 2006, significant 4chan threads have been archived on the 4chanarchive, creating a database of over 500GBs.<br />
<br />
On 10/3/2012, Chanarchive without warning, temporarily shut down (almost permanently though.) On a 4chan thread, the owner stated that the site was banned from paypal and had their funds frozen, making it impossible to pay it's massive expenses. However, the operators of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] stepped in, and offered to host chanarchive.org, which was accepted by the site's creator/then-owner, "Capsized." <br />
<br />
<s>The site is still online as of 2/26/13, but no backups have been made as of yet.</s> As of 1/16/14 the site is down and ED has given no indication to it returning. Internet Archive has intermittent captures of the site.<br />
<br />
[https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chanarchive#Death_of_Chanarchive Zaiger, one former mod, stated] that a hard drive containing parts of the site got corrupted, and was irreparable. The Chanarchive Team was thus unable to restore the site, or even a backup.<br />
<br />
The Bibliotheca Anonoma is attempting to resurrect some portions of the site through Internet Archeology, by [https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/wiki/Chanarchive sifting through the Wayback Machine's many snapshots of 4chanarchive/Chanarchive.] Not everything will be saved, and images are mostly lost, but a significant portion of the threads can at least be read.<br />
