Where can I find their old websites? I might have a friend who could try to help 🤔

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ferru: davidferrer.com. though like i said the captures for this one are in good shape. (although if your friend knows how to work magic on the old forum... not to get really weird really fast or anything. but i do not have NEARLY the amount of those tour diary threads saved that i wish i did. esp when i think about the next fic i wanna write.)

juanki: juancarlosferrero.com, specifically the fotogaleria which is a flash black hole. in 2014 the site got a facelift and after that you can see the thumbnails of which i speak under biografia.

keep me updated!

#realizing once again that i am doing nothing to help myself wrt maintaining a dubious facade of normality #but i've long since been radicalized into one of those people who Has to save things. burned too many times.#digital sources are not stable!!! you can't rely on them for archival permanence if you don't know and trust the host!!#after all. what if 10 years later you come back to an old fandom and all the official sites and youtube uploads and match torrents and #social media posts and photobucket accounts and forum attachments and fuckyeah tumblrs are all gone.#WHAT THEN. 🙃#ask #media archaeology #well and. i was just born with the hoarding instinct.#the forums... the forums just barely overlapped with me to begin with. i copied like. 2 or 3 entries. the mtf threads have a couple more.#and this summer i combed through every single wayback capture to extract what remains #but many others remain tantalizingly out of reach. remember some of the content. can see the subject lines. but they are Gone gone.
