This is the thread where you post the oldest /a/ image you have saved.
Or maybe the one that you've never gotten a chance to use?

It was only about 15GB of images and music anyway. The rest of the space was video and manga I deleted regularly.

The oldest macros I have are in a pentium 4 dell that is in my parents house.
I moved away in 2009 but I had a laptop back then which then died.
My oldest drive is from 2010 so that's the oldest I have, back when godhand was a regularly posted meme.
So I'd say not worth it.

I used to have tons of images from 2006. Then when I was migrating my files to a new hdd I realized I don't care about memes anymore, and neither does /a/ nowadays. So I just deleted those folders. It felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders honestly.

If your XySubFilter or whatever you use if properly configured then just set this setting in MadVR.
It should allow you to use internal screencap unless you have something else fucking up your subtitle layer.

I'm pretty sure this was from the last decade. There was a time when a lot of Yotsuba edits were posted.

Side note, what is the best way to prepare for an inevitable (let's face reality) HDD crash?
The obvious solution is some kind of RAID array, but I don't have enough money to shell out for the extra hardware - my understanding is that for RAID, you'd need at least twice the space of what you want to be constantly backing up. And there are different RAIDs one can use.
The barbarian, caveman solution that I have going right now is that there is an old 2TB external drive I just dumped all the things I really care about into, and every few months I go in and update it. But this is prohibitively time consuming and I'd rather not just delete everything on the external storage and start mass-copying data all my to it again each time. In fact I did this once, and decided it was for retards (currently, me).
Is some kind of RAID array the only way to go to combat failures? Is buying 2 or more times the necessary space a large but worthwhile investment? Cause If any of my HDDs crashed (currently, 4), I'd run towards the nearest living thing and kill it. Luckily, I haven't had a single crash yet, despite leaving my computer on large amounts of time. (For those curious, the brands I use are: 3 WDC drives (one from 2006), a MAXTOR drive (from 2008), and an intel SSD, newest.)
>>135549448
Even demotivators were commonplace...
>>135549519
>One day people will be saying the same thing about images we post now.
They're already saying it. I can't think of a single thing that you won't get shit for posting anymore.
>>135549527
>The barbarian, caveman solution that I have going right now is that there is an old 2TB external drive I just dumped all the things I really care about into
That's what I'm doing, and I don't care for any new-fangled approach to doing it you may throw at me.In all seriousness, a HDD crash is one of my greatest fears.

No, "board culture" is just ever-present off-topic cancer that faggots use as an apology when they don't want to discuss anything board-related. 2004 cancer is still cancer even if it's "we oldfags now".
Feel free to talk about things that happened in past, but most people here just posted image macros or reaction images, barely anything that could be labeled good old OC.

RAID is only useful to keep business running, it's shit for home users because it needs to be mantained and can still fail catastrophically.
Copying to another drive/another computer in the network is the best solution, and there's plenty of software to automatize it.
Using a modern filesystem like ZFS,Btrfs also helps to make sure data is really intact.
It's also best to use mid-sized HDDs (currently 2TB), to not put everything in one basket and because they should be more reliable.

Sometime i wish Accelerator would come back
>>135551539
>>135551452
>>135551517
I hope you kill yourself
>>135551517
It doesn't sound as bad as you think. I'm close to posting a frog after looking at my 2007 downloads folders.
>>135551523
>2012
You make me feel like an oldfag
>>135551459
>>135542286
I doubt anyone would even know this, /a/ is like /v/ at this point
>>135551523
I remember quitting /b/ cold turkey in late 06 because it was getting terrible thanks to raid shit.
I guess it must have all seemed so fresh and fun to you
>>135551655

>>135548910
I miss these. When's Hiro going to bring them back?
>>135548910
What happened to the text boards anyways? Moot said he put them in archive only mode, but I cannot for the life of me access them, when I use the old URL I get redirected to the main site.
I asked Emperor Hirohito to put them back in the Q&A but he never responded.
>>135551655
STOP
Rare footage before /a/ turned into casual shit by moot and mods
>>135551517
You could post him now.
I don't have any older ones(this is from 2010), but I still remember that in 2007 people were using the pepe "feels good man" image and also the that really rustled my jimmy's gorilla with out any second though just as a reaction.
I'm pretty sure it was in 2011 when fucking /v/-summerfags ran this images to the ground and ">ISHYGDDT" got popular.
I think that was a bad year for 4chan, but a fun year overall.
I remember the day when moot went full Jew
>>135551968
>Are you finished with those banners
I miss when 4chan had like 90% anime banners. Not this LELSOFANNYXDDD shits we have nowadays
>>135551945
Why do people always give /v/ credit for /sp/s memes?
>>135551927
Holy shit I couldn't decide whether to laugh or be angry that day
I joined in on the shitposting but I was dying inside
>>135551945

I actually looked it up, apparently they're still (barely) active as a separate site.

>>135552098
It's just not the same.
>>135552098
Thank you for revealing your newfaggotry and obliviousness on these matters. Now go away.
>>135552038
/sp/ is the OC factory, the only one who came close was old /r9k/
>>135551861
moot killed them after freezing them, they're still sort of alive in multiple places.
>>135552081
Thank you.
It is sad how dull /a/ is nowadays
>>135552121
I'm far from a newfag, but apparently I'm oblivious, what exactly did I do wrong by posting that? I was never really active on the text boards so maybe I'm missing something.
>>135552163
Wow really? Why the hell would he do that? It's not like hosting text only boards took significant bandwidth.
This was my first day on /a/. I was literally in this thread and witnessed all the shit storm
>>135552225
4-ch.net is almost as ancient as 4chan, and it's really not a continuation of 4chan's (admittedly inferior) textboards. Now shut up and stop posting.
>>135552272
>I was literally in this thread
Cool. That wasn't the first of those threads though.

What the fuck is wrong with you that you get this hostile over somebody having a hazy memory of obscure websites from over a decade ago?
>>135552478
nope. /tv/.
>>135552478
It wasnt.
It was /sp/ retarded 2011 based bro culture explosion begining with mocking users putting ketchup in the fridge.
/g/are underrated memesters tho. They started promotions black guy (obviously a lot of overlap with /a/)
You kids and your oniichun and your 4chanY, back in my days we had to use noko to stay in the thread and we liked it
RememberAnimesuki?
>>135552514
>obscure websites from over a decade ago
It's not obscure and it's not "over a decade ago". I'm just sick of seeing clueless retards like you talking about shit know nothing about.
These threads are the worst jesus christ
I remember when fatefags tried to do their shitty roleplay and fanfiction on here everyday
>>135549527
I do advanced data recovery and computer repair. HDD's will crash, it's not a matter of if but when. The best option is to have several backups. You do not need a RAID, they are more trouble then they are worth to set up and when the RAID itself fails, which it will, getting the data off is a bitch and will require advanced data recovery. Which means a clean room environment and other shit. We start at around $500 and that's cheap for the service. SSDs are the same way, getting data off a failed one requires special equipment and plus they are more expensive per GB so you really don't want to be archiving stuff on an SSD.
The best way to do it is to have multiple backups to mechanical drives. Don't get a drive over 2TB as mechanical drives over 2TB have a much higher failure rate. Typical lifespan of a drive is 3-5 years although I've had drives for 8-10 years and I've had ones fail within 30 days. The good thing is that mechanical desktop drives have never been cheaper, you can pick up a 2TB WD Black for around 100.
Also do not buy Seagate. Ever. They suck and their firmware is a fucking mess, making data recovery more difficult than usual.
>>135552600
I remember that, I miss the promotions. I guess now days everyone is a NEET.
I miss the times when we had techloli/g/y threads at /g/.

Newfag here, was IOSYS ever a thing on /a/?
>>135552677
I don't remember if it was here or at /jp/, but during the season when the seacats anime was airing we had the most unbearable role-playingfags infest every thread.
>>135552739

You can still sage, but it's not the same.
>>135552626
I did. Got most of my music from them back then. You know how upset I was when I found out code geass had missing tracks not on any of the ost? goddamn I was fucking livid.
>>135542286
This is the oldest image I have on this computer. I know that this has probably been updated since this one though.
I have so many thread screencaps and images from 2007 and 2008 on my old computer.
I'm a law student and if the bar ever saw any of those caps and images they would never let me be a lawyer.
>>135552748
Yes, before 2hu got exiled to /jp/
>>135552748
Marisa stole the precious thing and cirnos perfect math class dominated these boards
Then moot split our userbase between /jp/ and forever changed the landscaoe of /a/
>>135552793
Options is casual baby shit.
My old laptop probably had some really old stuff.
Newer stuff. It's been five years now.
>>135552748
over drive/usatei/marisa stole the precious thing/cirno's perfect math class were all the rage in 4chan.
/f/ was best board. ;_;
>>135552953
What was the purpose of this image? Just a comparison?
>>135552970
>Was the best board
What board usurped /f/ of that position?
>>135552246
Well, he also introduced /lgbt/. Nobody asked for it, nobody wanted it, I don't believe it's successful as a containment board for the demographic of users that were actual faggots. I think moot's rationale was that "even if X 4channers don't think we should have it, there are X*1000 4channers that don't feel the same way, just because X 4channers vocally oppose a decision, they're still a minority."
Basically, fuck you, most dedicated 4chan users.
Another decision I still roundly despise is removing visible sage. No justification other than "people use sage as an insult" which to me, seems trivial. Shitposting just took on different forms.
>>135551516
Lower memory usage (if you're talking 10). A non-shit copy dialog and task manager.
>>135552991
I have no idea. At the time I saved this I shouldn't have known anything about Persona or Index.
Here's something that at least makes sense (if you watched that shitty show).
>>135552953
What the fuck is that Megaten chart trying to convey
>>135553065
moot was mostly trying to please the newfags so that they will buy his shitty 4chunpass back in that time
>>135553025
/f/ died on it's own. People didn't know how to make new content so they just hotlinked shit from youtube.
Not anime related.
Reported
>>135553217
Thats a good contribution, anon
>>135553216
It's still better than the majority of modern boards, even if flash is a dying/dead medium.
>>135552639
Holy shit dude.
Ok, first of all, they're obscure as shit, and second, it's been a decade, or close to one, since I had anything to with them.
I have to assume you're close to 30 if you've been around as long as some of us in this thread, it really makes me wonder how you've made it this far in life as somebody who's this easily baited into rage freakouts.
>>135552677
I remember when Fatefags were fun.

I lost a hard drive a few months ago and it really depressed the shit out of me. There wasn't even anything important on there that I needed desperately, it was more like I just lost a couple of year's worth of memories in images and things like that.
When I hooked up the drive, I'd hear it click a few times when starting up my system. I tried to do some research on the issue and it seems that's a purely mechanical failure, right? It seemed pretty common but the service to repair it sounds terrible.
>>135553189
I prefer my reason. Since it was what he stated. And he told us over and over that 4chan pass was not really making the site any money, even though it was the site's only source of revenue because he refused to accept donations.
Your reason, though tempting to believe, would make me literally hate moot's fucking guts. And I love mootykins.
>>135553366

I understand anon. I cant post cool old images ITT since I was not a hoarder and switched computers, abandoning my files.
Always hoard your files, anons. Dont be like me. They are your life.
>>135553325
I realize. I'm still on Windows 7 myself. But for once, I'd like to actually re-enable the UAC if I ever upgrade, because Windows actually has the most reasonable security these days.

>>135552685
But essentially, because I have so many folders and files and occasionally switch things up, rather than go folder by folder and manually backup the new directories, I basically just clear out my backup drive each time and copy all the data en masse to it. Is it bad to constantly wipe ~1.5TB of data from a drive and then re-write ~1.5TB +/- to it every few months? I guess it's not the automation that bothers me, but I don't know if the lifetime of the backup drive is lowered by writing such large amounts of data to it, even intermittently after a fewmonths.

this post embodies everything wrong with modern 4chan and /a/ in particular
>>135553585
Not him, but during normal desktop usage an HDD would get much more activity than bulk write/read, so it shouldn't be a problem.
the only issue is
>clear out my backup drive
>main drive dies before/during backup
This is from 2007.
>>135554226
There was no 4chan in 2003, stupid.
