I'm sure everyone is aware of the recent Photobucket change that has rendered many images and stories broken. While unfortunate, a minority of PB images do still work, along with other images that remain hosted on risk-prone sites such as tinypic, dropbox and img.ie. Given that these images are unlikely to last much longer, I believe it is important that we continue our archival efforts, which is what I've been doing for the past week. I will be sharing my progress and methods below for anyone else interested in doing the same.

I necro ThatAussieGuy Dwarven Checkboard and copied images out of PB and into imgur, since it is an entry in the hall of legends.

Also added PDF Version: DF ThatAussieGuy Dwarven Checkerboard (PDF)  :D

Thank you guys, I miscalculated how busy and tired I am and so couldn't do anything concerning this. My health isn't helping, cause I've been randomly sick this past month and had to visit a hospital quite a few times. I'm really sorry.

Nah, no worries. If you're too busy to guard the OP, you can just point to my first post, I'll try to keep things updated until you're okay. Hope you get well soon.

Heya.
I don't know if the idea is still alive. But can I leave another suggestion?
I'll leave the link, I don't even know if the succession is still going.

The problem is, I get the succession games must be here, because this is the portal/home of DF players and community, but keeping up with the succession games gets really really hard after comment after comment.

Just realised that using Microsoft Print to PDF results in significantly larger PDF files than other writers. By significantly larger I mean like 3x bigger, and the quality lacks as well.

*Sigh*

It's a real bugger, but I guess I'm going to redo all my PDFs, this time with a decent PDF writer in-tow.

Elves of Amanereli has been affected by Photobucket's idiotic policy

That was a good story and the pictures WERE the focus.... Is there any way to save them?

I get the feeling I should put this somewhere more visible... like the wiki or something.

Is there another 'recover photobucket's pictures' site yet?

Not sure whether it's still working, give it a try.
