>>56068382I'm quite proud of the archives and what they represent. I can confidently say it's one of the few things I have absolutely zero regrets doing. I'm glad to be able to give a home to the ideas and hard work of so many different people. Especially since a lot of pieces were only posted once or twice or by people who dropped in, showed off their work, then left. At least this way they're never forgotten and no one's work will ever go unappreciated.
What I would love to do at some point is get a locally-hosted booru like Hydrus or shimmie2 and run all of the /tog/ media through it to check for duplicates before sweeping up the excess.
Since goodness knows a few copies have cropped up across the SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE files in the Hall of Fame, and there isn't a snowflake's chance I'd be able to pick them out by eye.
Nothing stopping me, I just haven't done it yet...
Professional pride versus realistic expectations. We've used 2.25/50gb of storage space, having repeat files really, REALLY doesn't matter. Unless it does...
