Why are there so many archives and why have so many failed? Why

Internet costs money and the money they made from their malware ads wasn't enough.

Since when was Hiro hosting the offsite archives?

They get progressively worse each time

>>154249841
the archive on here has malicious ads and mook is just adding more paid features and ruining the site. where is there a nuke when you need it

>>154249753
Because no one wants to pay for shit. People turn on ad-block (leading to malicious ads). No one donates.

Why keep something that just costs you money and time alive?

Who cares about archives anyways? Defeats the purpose of this place. Let's go back to when we had to vote threads into the archive.

Holy fuck I can barely remember that.

There's like three different archives that host the same boards. You can ask those retards why they're hosting the same boards for no benefit.

>/a/ specific archive?
Because there's nothing here worth archiving. Just use fireden.

Reading past discussions about shows you're watching

I liked the whole fact that people had to lurk to learn about goings-on in the boards. Nowadays people can just go through archives and read up on shit like that

Archive is only useful on shit like /tg/ where they have threads that go on and on and on

Warosu and 4plebs never seem to have problems.
