This is a continuation and generalization of the 4chan archival dumps / Yuki.la archive dump threads. Post torrents, scrapes, and dumps of imageboards. Discuss any idiocy from archivers and sites, so that others can work on taking better charge and preparations for imageboard data to persist into the future. 4chan, thread dump: https://archiveofsins.com/t/thread/1033260/ 4chan, uber-compressed dump: https://archiveofsins.com/t/thread/1108330/ Previous thread: >>1153106 [/t/thread/1153106#p1153106]

Replies to this post might be torrents posted in the previous thread in a certain format.Attached pic: the old 4chon was excluded from web.archive.org. The new 4chon currently isn't excluded: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=List_of_websites_excluded_from_the_Wayback_Machine&type=revision&diff=63626&oldid=636127chan sucks, and the current 8ch might suck.

Multiple files in 4chan_gif_2026_07 were lost: 1% to 5% of them. This is due to ZFS corruption (with no corruption reported by smartcl, I think). The zpool corruption may have happened as a result of a brief power outage.The files are "totally inaccessible" and unreachable by GNU ddrescue: >$ utc; ddrescue -r3 /zd/4changif/test.corrupt/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA /zd/4changif/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA /zd/4changif/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA.log; utc >2026-08-22T03:36:35.426944900Z >ddrescue: /zd/4changif/test.corrupt/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA: Can't open input file: Invalid exchange >2026-08-22T03:36:35.599220683Z >$ xxd /zd/4changif/test.corrupt/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA | head >xxd: /zd/4changif/test.corrupt/wBmd4RM7y2m-ikzIj8iqPA: Invalid exchange >$ # RIPThe folder "test/" (renamed to "test.corrupt/" in another HDD) = the current folder for 4chan_gif_2026_07.

The 4chan board /r/ was deleted, as posted about in the previous thread.The 4chan board /f/ was also basically deleted.Once a board is ended, only archives remain as no new or live content and discussion will be made. This means that whoever has "all" of /r/ and /f/ should share that. I'm downloading swfchan.net which contains "all" threads of >>>/f/ [//boards.4chan.org/f/] since 2008 or 2009.[/t/thread/1153106#p1403919] >If $n was set to the wrong number (Or if $f was set to the wrong string = also problematic)

What about torrents, scrapes, and dumps from other imageboard sites? Does anyone have any?

This is the hover folder of the /hover/ board that started on old 8ch in 2015 It contains most if not all of the images posted on the board, snapshots taken periodically throughout its time between 2015 and 2019 of the index page, every thread as it exists now on 8kun (in a 7z file) and various content related to the board. Its the folder of the board owner of /hover/, presented as is at this timeThe /hover/ board, the hover folder and content in it is safe for work and overly large files were removed and linked to in text files to reduce the size of the torrent to make it easier to share. Unfortunately the folder is a bit of a mess and could be better organized but it is what it is, maybe someone can organize it better laterThe size of the folder is around 7 GB, there are a lot of files, pictures, web pages, pdfs and some videosmagnet:?xt=urn:btih:e923f37541edb8f1c57c8953ade351b53a642875&dn=hover&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fopen.tracker.cl%3A1337%2Fannounce

If anyone would like to contribute to preserving the Polish Usenet archive (the one from: https://usenet.nereid.pl/) magnet:?xt=urn:btmh:1220567db71af4f45721fd432a5e7331a150a372fad12528d9792f3e986bd1d38883&dn=pl_usenet&xl=41867542528

Reading that website, it doesn't make some things clear: >https://web.archive.org/web/20260819195724/http://yotsubasociety.org/welcome/ >Welcome and Introduction >The Yotsuba Society, or by our full name: The Society for the Study and Preservation of Yotsuba Channel, is a website devoted to documenting and preserving the history of the imageboard/*chan culture/scene. >[...] >We currently have a front page with articles about the Western Imageboard Culture. A wiki created dedicated to the Western Imageboard Culture and the history of the culture. And a set of imageboards for the discussion of the site’s articles, the Western Imageboard Culture, and for other topics. But in the future we want to provide a comprehensive thread archive database that you can submit threads to, we’re going to add movies related to the community, complete press coverage history and analysis, and more… We want this website to the electronic gathering place of sorts of channers of all types and walks of life. OK, so maybe I could send some of my 4chan data to them.But why "Yotsuba Society"? Perhaps because the default theme (CSS) of 4chan is named "Yotsuba". The default theme in 2chan (what 4chan is/was based on) is named "Futaba". More on "Futaba": OP pic.
