It had about 40,000 links to archived 4chan threads (and other obscure foreign boards, lists of old forums, online libraries & archives, various media databases, piracy websites, rom/emulation websites, niche 90s-00s websites, torrent trackers, private trackers, manuals, tutorials.

When I was working with it my pc got down due to power outage. I tried to open it but it appears as a binary file with nulls. I tried recuva but no luck, the restored file still has gibberish text.

I guess I gotta say goodbye to my valuable info. The last time I did a backup was a year ago. I've added about 30,000 links since then.

At least my 16, 000 threadshots are fine and I backed it up immediately. Thank you 4chan for all the wisdom and insight I managed to gather.
