Is it time for a Chiefsplanet archives preservation effort?

[Cornstock]

In light of recent events of the past few months, losing both Wendy Meets A Draftabulator and Fisty McTatt, two of the most storied pieces of CP history to hosting issues, it got me thinking. Are there any other invaluable pieces of our history that need preserving so we can avoid this in our future?

I would hate to see any more lore lost that could have been prevented.

Woah, we lost Fisty? Wendy was lost years ago when the site hosting the video shut down.

Nope

I guess I only found out about Wendy fairly recently. But yeah, the guys in the Fisty thread said the photobucket was lost

Some of the images are gone, but the actual Fisty image is still there.

2. Lumpy was that someone else. I turned her lustful, and somewhat slutty picture into some type of Jewish Cowboy fancy pants lady.



3. oh, and Mr. Plow's avatar got the stache in between steps 2 and 4. I think there was some mod abuse here as well.



4. I challenge Pestilence to do the "easy" thing with his hand. There's a link in the actual Fisty McTatt thread somewhere.

Pestilence complys, and my plan of getting him to post more pictures of himself so i can photoshop them works.



5. About 15 seconds later.



6. Hometown ****s up and posts this of himself



7. I found a body for Fisty McGirly Hand's face. He becomes Fisty McTatt. The masses join in and all hell breaks loose.






Damn this was fun.

And here's the actual Fisty pic rehosted just to be sure.

Wendy..... that was legendary.

I just rehosted all the fisty stuff in that other thread, so here it is intact.

Long live Fisty!

Rest in internet peace, Wendy

I'm scratching my brain to think if there are any other legendaries that I'm forgetting.

Also, I wonder if there's a way we could make a Wendy 2.0. I'm sure we could crowdsource some casino cash for anyone willing to put in the time

I downloaded Fax's video in 2009. I don't have it on this laptop. I'll check some backups this weekend.

You will be forever loved if you find it.

He was showing it to me while he was working on it, wanting feedback. Just got to remember where my laptops or backups from 2009 are.

A question I've always had since day 1, why do I have to wait 60 seconds between searching?

There was the MS paint thread with an elephant spraying diarrhea all over.

Library of Congress worthy admission in my opinion.

Along those lines, Demonpenz has some Louvre worthy MS paint works that should be preserved as well.
