I've just been on a bit of a dive through the annals of CaB, and found a load of posts which were unintelligible due to dead links, mainly Photobucket, Tinypic and Twitter.

Is there owt that can be done about this? On CaB I've pretty much always linked images via Imgur due to Tinypic going shite around the time I joined here, but recently they have made it more difficult to post from mobile without the app or on desktop without whitelisting them from adblockers.

Is there anything similar to an image upload site which allows for perma-archiving of posts on the twit twits?

https://archive.today or similar?

Does that work for things like twitter threads? A lot of archive services - even Wayback - seem to skip over images to save space.

Can't wait till all those pics of my tiny penis vanish from the internet tbh.

Wayback machine is really hit & miss.  This year I've started finding sites from over 10 years ago where I've been able to download mp3's, a 30mb mov file, and even a 100-ish mb zip file, and yet on other sites the images aren't even all there.

You'd like that, wouldn't you? But thanks to people like me, it will never happen.
