Do you have a backup of the images that were lost?

So far imgur has proven to be the most reliable, with photobucket and maaaaybe imageshack.us being next. Although I have seen my share of damaged imageshack.us LPs.

Myself, I use postimg.com. The images I made 3 years ago are still there. But I don't make many LPs, so I can't say how it does in general.

Edit:
Hammer & Sickle by Cholo - added to Completed LPs

Yeah, I probably will. I've seen your Wizardry and TES LPs too. Are they inactive?

Done. Can you... make a backup of it or something in case the hosting goes down? It is a pretty monumental LP that I enjoyed reading, and seeing those break is extremely sad.

Oh, it is backed up, multiple times, trust me on this one. As for the hosting, most of the updates are on dropbox, but some are still on photobucket (I need to move them when I have some free time - Photobucket has been crap recently). I doubt dropbox will die anytime soon, but if it does, I will be able to restore the LP pretty fast.

Obviously, let me know if you encounter any broken image links.

If you remove the spoiler tags in the first post, it will be easier to search for specific games in the LP database.

Hi Hirato,

This is a reminder that your Public folder links will become inactive on March 15. On that date, your Public folder will become a standard Dropbox folder, and your files will remain safe in your account. If you want to share those files again, you’ll need to use shared links instead.

The Public folder was the first sharing method we introduced, and since then, we’ve built more sophisticated ways for you to share securely and work together with your team. In addition to shared links, we have a number of sharing options designed to make collaboration easier and give you more control.

We understand these sharing methods are not a direct replacement for the Public folder in some cases—we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. For more information on transitioning from the Public folder to shared links, visit our Help Center.

- The Dropbox Team

Dropbox has decided to commit suicide - I was hoping they'd renegade to all the outrage on their forums but no such luck.
A great many of us, myself included had used Dropbox as a semi-persistent image host.

If you're reliant on Drobox for anything, I strongly urge you to stop supporting them financially and moving to an alternative service, from OneDrive, Google Drive, your personal FTP server, or whatever.
If your business uses Dropbox as well, ask them to consider alternatives; if they have an MSDN/Office365 subscription (they probably do for Office, outlook, windows, visual studio etc), Microsoft's OneDrive should already be paid for.


If you like me, used dropbox, or you know of an LP that did, please go to archive.org and ensure every page with content has been backed up.
If we don't do this, those LPs will forever be lost into the aether and that disrepair section's going to grow a lot bigger.

Hopefully, I'll be downloading your Persona4 LP before that.

But yes, anyone who knows an LP that's on Dropbox, please drop me a note.

I wrote a small script that tickles archive.org's database for LP threads, and let it loose on the 83-page Baldur's Gate thread.

It is currently on page 41 and has saved around 5550 images. (I throttled it down a lot since I don't particularly want to spam archive.org's servers.)

If there's an LP that has dropbox-hosted images that has many, many pages, go ahead and give me the link and I'll plug it into the script.

Or if you want to run the script yourself... (You'll need OS X or BSD/Linux plus a bit of software.)
