This article is meant to be about how an average 'teen can archive gems because nothing on the internet is permanent, and less so on the sharty!
Public archive sites
You can submit a URL to these sites and view it later.
- https://archive.today
- https://ghostarchive.org (tranny archive)
https://web.archive.org/save'chive niggers excluded the 'sharty from the Wayback Machine. You can still link to individual media on this 'chive by uploading it as an individual video file, but this requires you to data-mine yourself and make an account.

DO NOT exclusively use a single 'chive to save webpages. It’s recommended to ‘chive pages via multiple means, otherwise if an archive suddenly disappears or deletes our pages like archive.org did, your archive doesn't become lost media. Two citations don't hurt.
Local archiving
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 even entire webpages) to your local hard drive and to preferably make backups. You can use special software for this part.
- Ctrl+S on your browser - Sorta works, but ugly
- Singlefile extension (Chrome/Firefox) - Good overall. Saves the page as you see it in one .html file. Saves full images if you open them.
Advanced
- 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.
- Hayden - Newgen imageboard archiving software.
- >he doesn't have a custom-programmed live sharty-compatible vichan archiver >shiggy saving individual threads
Lost archives
There have been three separate incidents in which where the sharty lost access to archives. The first was the logwarehouse on june 5th, which caused a massive loss of posts from late november 2022 to early june 2023. The second time was when the sharty was excluded from the Wayback Machine on December 13th after they were snitched on, unleashing a catastrophic loss of 10000+ archives, especially ones from the early days. Most of these were only archived on Wayback Machine and are now permanently lost. The third time was when the archive.soyjak.in went down, but you'd expect we wisened up by the third time it happened.
/chive/
Particularly important threads, like Q&As, are also sometimes archived by moderators on-site on /chive/.
Shinny archive
archive.soyjak.in was a replacement for now defunct Log Warehouse based on Hayden. While it is fast and simple, it unfortunately lacks any sort of search features. It is also recommended that you archive particularly important threads manually.
