I think a lot about the fact that I wrote games criticism for years, including a regular column on a web site, and none of that exists now. Vanished, maaaaybe findable only in obscure links buried and found under a peat bog in the wayback machine.

@vampiress former music and entertainment critic here. While I was able to save *my own* publication (with some help from @terinjokes), sooo much of my writing was lost to time.

I was able to gather a lot of it over the years and republish it on my own website. Is that legal? I don’t know. But I figure if it wasn’t valuable enough to keep alive, it’s not valuable enough to threaten me over anymore either.

@Tender @vampiress So many of the outbound links are dead, so in a way I feel like we only saved a portion of the content. 😢

@terinjokes @vampiress you can’t save it all…

Although for my current music blog, I do try to at least archive every outbound link…

@Tender @vampiress Two weeks ago I had to try to find if links pointing at one archive service that had gone rogue could be found at another archive. 😞
