Extensions[edit | edit source]

Here is a list of extensions you can use to help make archiving easier:

Local Archiving[edit | edit source]

Truly nothing on the internet is permanent, not even archive sites. That's why it's important to save stuff (e.g. Images, Videos, and HTMLs) to your local hard drive and make backups.

Web Pages[edit | edit source]

  • "Ctrl+S" on your Browser - Works fine on Vichan, however may break if the page is too large.
  • Singlefile extension [3] - Good overall, Saves the page as you see it in one .html file, Saves full images if you open them.

Videos[edit | edit source]

Advanced[edit | edit source]

  • ArchiveBox allows you to run your own website archiver locally (can also apparently import from browser bookmarks or history).
  • yt-dlp - Download videos from YouTube and many other sites.
    • It is recommended that you download videos as AV1/VP9+Opus instead of H.264+AAC as the former is higher quality
  • gallery-dl - For mass downloading image galleries and collections.
  • Hayden - Newgen imageboard archiving software.
  • >he doesn't have a custom-programmed live sharty-compatible vichan archiver >shiggy saving individual threads

Lost Archives[edit | edit source]

There have been three incidents where the Sharty lost past archives:

  • On June 5, 2023, the Log Warehouse shut down, causing a major loss of images from November 2022 to June 2023. While the images were lost, the textual content were archived and are available as a torrent or on archive.soyjak.st.
  • In November 2023, another sharty archive - archive.soyjak.in - shut down. This time no archive was made, and so threads from Autumn 2023 were lost.
  • On December 13, 2023, the Sharty was excluded from the Wayback Machine after being snitched on, resulting in the loss of over 10,000 archives, mostly from the early days of the site. These archives were only stored on the Wayback Machine and are now permanently lost.

This is why it's important to ‘chive pages via multiple means; otherwise, if an archive site suddenly disappears or deletes our pages like the Log Warehouse or Wayback did, your thread doesn't become lost media.
