We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: So… the Internet Archive…

I know it got hit not that long ago, and as far as I can tell, most if not all of the Smoking Fetish stuff is gone.

Hmmmmmmm.

My preservations still exist, and I'm just a little bit smug about that. Always said it's an insurance policy.

Thing is, I thought it would have been a hot topic in the community, but I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Maybe they have, and I missed it, I dunno.

Certainly no solutions have been offered. Have people become that apathetic?

I guess one day they'll come for the Library too. Don't worry ladies and lads, I've got backups.

What was it I said about creating our own infrastructure a while back? Perhaps it's time to have another crack at that chestnut.

And I wonder who will be next? SFK, SSN, SFAS, Me? Us?

SFK is regularly assaulted, and it's the only community hub left. There's Reddit, but they'd put up about as much resistance as a wet paper bag in a stiff breeze. RuEm's GIT repo isn't safe, nor are the accounts I use for the Library. There are a handful of forums here and there, but that's our lot.

And I hate to say it, but the Library is as close to an archive as we've got.

So yeah.

Nick
