Sorting through my old bookmarks and finding lots of dead links. Okay, so in truth most of them were like shitty-to-alright (think Geocities-tier) Japanese artist/game sites but it's a thing happening to the whole Internet. The Internet Archive hardly begins to give good coverage of this sort of stuff. There's no stopping it. There is not much worth in stopping it, the majority is crap. No different from previous pre-digital generations, really. But it's still a little upsetting? Like, poof, there's no way to share certain things I was looking at as a college freshman except what I and a few strangers in another country I cannot know who they are can barely remember.

Continuing the why-am-i-killing-myself-with-nostalgia-for-shit-you-remember-as-being-shit quest, I have wasted ungodly time online today coming up with only scant evidence that one of the most popular Internet game music radio stations and in particular its only talk program ever even existed, never mind the content itself. There are people who were on it and kept the same names. There are some inbound links still up that have managed to never be updated. Knowing that it jumped stations a couple times hasn't helped dredge up more, nor would I want to really contact anyone from it or waste any time listening to the many hours of it because there was no relationship there. Why am I doing this.

There's very little evidence of one of the more popular MMO videogames on the internet having ever existed, they keep telling us about how information no longer degrades in the digital age, but it seems that things disappear more often from the public eye than they did previously.
>>671
Yeah I also have a life as a non-anonymous poster, and all these people going "boy am I glad I grew up in the 80s none of my teenage shit is online" might not realize that the same is 99% true if you just happened to put it in chats/IMs or on some site that hasn't lasted (in my case, EZBoard forums), and if you never drew the ire of someone who would assiduously document your shit.
BTW, if you have something you were hoping to save and it's on a floppy, there is a significant chance it's not retrievable now. Better go check. Or you can just decide it's not important and toss it, which is probably more realistic.
Like, some people (think the "IFLS teehee I am such a nerd" crowd) still act like the Library of Alexandria burning was some cataclysmic event causing us not to have books of the ancient world (perhaps unaware that it probably happened more than once), but historians assure us that the real problem is that paper decays and nobody had invented the photocopier back then; it takes extreme effort to copy a book by hand, and there wasn't even enough time to copy every work people cared about, much less insignificant works. The Dissolution of the Monasteries was probably worse, honestly.
>>671
Compared to any previous point in history, there is more information available, more readily, and at an increasing rate of production, so statistically that is unsurprising.
Although, the situation is not helped by an increasing percentage of Internet being entrusted to approximately 4 corporations. Back up your shit, people.
why did 25 rooms not get a wake up call when the system is up and running

It's worse than that: our information actually degrades much quicker now. DVDs have a ~30-100 year lifespan, hard drives less, etc. We tend not to notice this as much as we probably should because the surrounding devices themselves become outdated quickly and get replaced. Our paper is generally high-quality, but we don't write diaries or letters on it. Newspapers, of course, will disintegrate far quicker than books. I've heard many theorize that we're actually living in what will be a Dark Age of immense proportion, because we do not (generally) carve things into stone or metal currently. You'll still be able to read Roman war memorials decades after your hard drives have given up.
Our hope for long-term information survival is that people keep building new hard drives and backing up old drives onto them. This is analogous to the system of monks copying holy books in that it requires semi-regular human maintenance. The analogy also extends to include copying errors, discarding of “uninteresting” material, and cannibalization of other records when the supply of blank media runs dry for a while.
There are serious long-term archival projects (e.g. M-disc), but adoption isn't high. I hear there's a government employee somewhere out in the midwest whose job it is to burn a new copy of Wikipedia to such a disc every six months, then store it in an old missile silo.
What gets really fun is when some really important stuff is meant to be mostly buried but gets out somehow. FOIA and declassification procedures are good if a bit slow and prone to bias, but stuff like Nixon's tapes, Soviet committee reports, the DNC leaks... these things are practically black swan events. History almost never gets such a near-complete view of the facts that the people who are supposed to have the facts have.
>>673
I remember a fair few forums I used to use that have since been shuttered, mostly anime sites, and in a way I am glad that those childish things have disappeared, but I think it would be better to still have them to look back and reflect on the fact that you once did not know what you know now.
>>674
There is also the problem that storing information is not profitable, take twitch streams for an example, they delete them because it does not make them money to keep them long after the fact, but a large part of understanding an in joke or part of that culture may be something from an old stream that no new person can ever find.
>>676
There's this whole bandwaggoning onto SSD that has been happening for some time now, but SSD has a limited number of read/write operations it can ever preform, meaning the information is gone if it ever hits that cap. The deeper issue here with the lack of information for the future is a far more human one, people get bored of things and move on, so something that may have been insurmountably important to the genesis of an item in the eye of the cultural zeitgeist may have been completely forgotten about, abandoned, and erased. You could look at world2ch that lead to the creation of 4chan but whose archive is incomplete and even the people who care passionately about it tried to archive what they remember, or you could look at old movies, the BBC printed over the first runs of most of it's iconic old TV shows because the film was more expensive than how much they valued the content.
As for high quality paper, for certain things people have deemed important we make copies that will last, but for things actually important to the culture of people on the street we use toiletpaper that will degrade. The reason Marvel #1 is so valuable is that it was printed on shitty paper and was uninteresting, but it led to the creation of a media empire. Similarly the fictions that led to the mythos of the wild wild west are lost entirely, they were printed on chipped pulp that degraded within months, much of American culture and even the motives of the third reich were based on these books that are all but completely gone. So how many issues of comic High Action or Megastore or LO or even Jump do you think will survive into the next decade? How many popular doujin artists are there whose early work no longer exists in any form as it was never archived?
Now when it comes to digital it is alleviated a bit by how easy it is to distribute things, although this is illegal so there is probably a fair amount lost to not wanting to be a pirate, but there is still the problem that a lot of media, especially games, changes online. Think about how many updates there have been to League of Legends or Maplestory or even Starcraft, each of these versions may be wildly different from the ones before or after and it is unlikely that anyone has a record of all of them, and that's only works that you could ever obtain something like a browser based game would require a dedicated person to reverse engineer it every update which are not necessarily ever document. Phone apps are much the same but even harder to distribute or maintain and given how easy it is to get people to use an app many influential versions of content are completely lost within months.
A dark age in history doesn't even begin to describe it, it would be as if all the knowledge about the culture was lost then too, if we never found pots or swords from the romans and only knew they existed because of their bones, vast sects of our culture will never be remembered simply because our media degrades and the only people who thought to preserve it were the internet archive and their woefully inadequate system.

That's per-sector. Information isn't gone, it's just moved into a pool of spare space (around 10% total capacity in size) when write errors start happening. SMART also warns you that you should be getting a new drive soon. It's not really a bandwagon as much as the current technology for storage with the same longevity as spinning rust.
Anyway, I like the ephemeral nature of impermanent data, as it is on the internet. (So does every Snapchat user.) It feels more "in the now" and personal, and gives you freedom to let fingers spew as mine are now. Most information ever created has been lost to time, and we're okay with that. Plus, nobody in a decade or two will have time to care about whatever trash people wrote on phpBB in 1998 or Kareha in 2017, because the same amount of data will have been produced in the previous year as all years prior.

finally able to put some logic to it in my head
so in Japanese every noun is a mass noun until quantified with a counter word
In English:
Take "water", youu can't quantify it with just a numeral by itself, a counter word [liter,bucket,crapton] is needed to turn it from a mass noun into a count noun, except in some special cases like ordering a drink(we'll take two waters, please) where the counter word is still implied but not directly stated. Grammatically you could have an arbitrary number of craptons of water even if most people wouldn't phrase it like that.
So:
ヤギ - a goat, the goat, some goats, goats in general
ヤギ一匹 - one item of goat
also according to google the phrase "arbitrary number of craptons" has not been written on the internet until now

flashback to when I was drinking with some friends in college, and somebody suggested playing 'never have I ever.'
Ditzy girl: Ooh, ooh, you know, in my acapella group we decided 'never have I ever' is too negative so we play 'never have I always. We should play that.'
Me: Wait, so you've never...always done something? That applies to most things.
Ditzy girl: Nooo!!! I guess it should just be called "I have always."
Me: Ah, I see. Like "I have always loved pizza."?
Ditzy girl: Uh... actually just more like you say something you have done before...
Me: Oh, I see. Shouldn't it just be called "I have" then?
Ditzy girl: Oh my god you're right! Let's play "I have!!"
have i ever this is really confusing
What really irks me about reddit is that they actively discourage original content. You can get banned if over 10% of your posts are your own stuff. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
So what ends up getting upvoted is usually a repost of a repost of a suboptimal copy of somebody else's content, often without giving them credit, like a shitty gif of an uncredited youtube video.
>>721
The whole point is that it's an aggregator. You're supposed to find the best parts of the internet and bring them to reddit for free.
>>722
But aggregation is only a part of it, though. It's a discussion site with topical communities, interests, fetishes, whatever. Take some game for example, shouldn't be topics "look at this piece of shit I have created" be fine or are you supposed to snoop around top viewed youtube/popular streams and make gifs of that gameplay? It's just as stupid as those imgur "dumps" of regurgitated unfunny memes that somehow are always upvoted to the front page. Who does that?!
>>723
I finally mustered the willpower to stay the hell away from that site for any purpose except bandwidth leeching when I realized just how many of its users have to be latent/closet scat fetishists for certain content to be reaching the front page on a regular basis.
>>724
I only open it when I'm looking for tips and tricks for some game and google links something relevant.
>>725
I realize now I wasn't necessarily clear that I was talking about imgur.
Reddit is a different situation and your use of it is pretty much exactly like how I came by my more esoteric gaming knowledge in times past.
As to why longer-form (but, alas, not longer-ongoing) discussions have centralized there, I think there is an economics of effort sort of thing in play, where forum starters could take more effort to host and maintain one on their own dime, and posters could take more effort to sign up for yet another account and get a feel for "community" first, and lurkers could take more effort to read the less popularly selected posts, but it is expedient in each case to just have someone else do that shit.
I do get that it may have been intended as a half-serious "hot pockets" kind of joke, but >>722 is correct as to what the site is "supposed" to be. The masses, however, much prefer to use it in convenient ways, and they clash with the admins all the damn time over such issues (proCSS, AMAgeddon, votes used as popularity ratings and not "this did/didn't contribute").
