Adm|nymous gave us some info about the history of Fuuka, FoolFuuka, and the Fuuka Archivers.
archiving software
- fuuka = original board dumper with an included front-end written by AoRF and maintained by eksopl afterwards
- asagi = re-implementation of the fuuka dumper with some significant improvements
- foolfuuka = re-implementation of the fuuka front-end with some significant improvements and utilizes the asagi dumper for archiving
there is a fairly significant difference between fuuka archives and asagi/foolfuuka archives
archive.moe
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.

installgentoo.net
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.
archive.heinessen.com
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.
archive.thedarkcave.org
it archived /c/, /int/, /out/, and /po/. foolz obtained the data in june 2014.
archive.foolz.us
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).
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.

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.
