>>2411239I think there were archives, but they weren't as extensive. Some of the 4chan archives go back a long time ago and I assume that they are backups of now defunct archives.
Speaking of old 4chan, I still remember clicking a picture and getting a song playing in my browser non-stop. I had no idea how to deactivate that shit and I had to reinstall Firefox. It scared me shitless because I thought there were le ebin hackers able to do crazy shit with you. There was a picture of some Jap dude, Nintendo developer IIRC, floating around back then, and people said that if you opened it, you'd randomly get a screamer some time later. I never opened that picture. It scared the shit out of me, the thought of something like that popping up later. Was probably bullshit.
