Glenn Danzig chilling with several Trans- Sailor Moon cosplayers in 1992 is pretty blessed and funny.

Why do photos from the 80s/90s look like they're from 100 years ago

I distinctly remember new photos (and video on TV, etc) from that era looking sharp and crisp and colorful, and photos like the above were "from the 50s"'

It's not because the photos themselves are aging, because I have scans of college photos that I made at the time that now look super old and crappy

Three answers for you, in reverse order:

3) Generally, it is because the photos are aging and the colours are fading.
You may have examples for crap photos from the time because it was harder to take good, vibrant photos at the time with the cheap camera/film that people tended to use.

2) Nostalgia is a hell of a filter: I've watched some high quality scans of TV from the time and it is barely watchable now (try it on YT - it surprised me)

1) 1980 was 40 years ago. You're old, dude.

I like to think that we just lived in that resolution and color pallet and you don�t realize it until you have been enlightened by a new invention a la The Giver. I think it was explained in a Calvin and Hobbes strip by the dad and, now that I am also a dad I would like to adopt this explanation.

If Lowtax is actually canceled, isn't the best thing to do:
1. Keep using the forums like normal
2. Don't do any dumb TOXX or buy new avatars

Use the same amount of bandwidth and give $0 additional dollars

why yes, this is the option that doesn't require me to lose my main daily social interaction, why do you ask?

I take it 100% seriously and gently caress lowtax for being a massive piece of poo poo, but the animosity being formented against the community by offsite drama-mongers can get hosed.

The beef is with the guy who owns the hosting, not SA itself.

Less "outed" and more "got accused by a third woman and now people are realizing it really is him."

Genuine apologies. Thought that�s what that meant in this context. In retrospect, that word does have other connotations.

So anyway, Lowtax is lovely.

A while ago, some presumed goon wrote a thread scraper for SA. It was a chrome extension supposed to turn an entire SA thread into a single HTML file so the browser user could save it to their HD. It wasn't working so 'Mojo asked me to see if it could fix it.

I forked the code and fixed the error messages, then did it again when chrome started hating on http connections or something. It's now the single thing I have available on github, because it would be rude not to let the orginal author know that somebody still loves his dead gay code:

https://github.com/Fumblemouse/SA-Archiving-Tool

To use:

Hit the big green Clone button and download it as a zip file.

Extract the zip file somewhere on your local hard drive.

In Chrome, go Settings -> More Tools -> Extensions and flick the Developer Mode switch on the top right.

There should now be an option to Load Unpacked on the left. Ignoring the untold comedy potential for that phrase, click the option and find the folder you extracted the zip to - by default, SA-Archiving-Tool-master. Select that folder and click the Open button.

All going well you should now have a hard-to-see SA icon on the chrome extension bar. If you visit a SA thread with a thread ID, eg https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3903748 the icon should now be clickable with a single option...Archive.

Click that link, and your local PC will think for a while, depending on your local tubespeed, then display a single page with the entire thread on it. CTRL+S or Rightclick Save As and save it whereever you want. WebPage, Complete will save images also.

Because nothing in life is easy, the saved page's HTML CSS tags refers to something set up by the chrome extension, so it will look a bit crappy in another browser or if you remove the extension. This can be fixed by changing the CSS reference in the Saved As HTML file to the files in the /archive folder from the extracted zipfile - or you could copy the /archive css files into the HTML file's folder and just have the tags as direct links to files (no folder references)

Go crazy!

If you dl a thread, please host the zip and post a link, I think there's a thread for it in pyf.
