This article is meant to be about how an average 'teen can archive gems bacause nothing on the internet is permanent!
Local archiving
Save stuff (e.g. images, videos, and even entire webpages) to your local hard drive, preferably several actually. You can use special software for this part.
Archive sites
DO NOT exclusively use archive.org to save webpages. Uploading files there seems to be okay THOUGH. Use archive.ph for saving pages instead
Archive.today/Archive.ph
If you're fed up with the snail speed of the Internet Archive, or wary of using it since 4chan was blacklisted on it[1] then you WILL opt for Archive.today.
Simple archive
To do a simple archive, simply paste the thread link into the field that reads "My url is alive and I want to archive its content" and then press the button that says "save". This alone is okay for things like history documentation, especially if a thread is looooong (like this one).
Archiving media
If you HATE being stuck with thumbnails, then you can open each original image as it appears in the thread in a new tab and archive each individual link it the same manner you would a thread. You can also archive videos in the same way, but they will NOT embed on Archive.today and you WILL have to download them onto your device to play them after the thread dies.
Video tutorial
If you found the text tutorial hard to follow, here's a video tutorial.
