astral has worked url sorcery and extracted all the ~8.1 million imgur links on SA. you can find them here. if you think you can help downloading a chunk then come on by.

E: to clarify they are all links that have been posted on the live and archived forums

Isn't any given chunk of that likely to contain at least something illegal? If not something extremely illegal?

that would be an unimaginably vast amount of data, op

casual googling indicates 300 million users of imgur a month, and they upload a lot of cat pictures

IPFS is probably what you are thinking of. It doesn't really address the core issue that someone has to pay for hosting the images. It just lets the hosting costs be distributed, inefficiently might I add, amongst anyone willing to pay for them.

Ultimately all these files are coming in house, so they will be hosted by sa.

Thanks admin team for handling all this on short notice and with crazy levels of speed. I think the staff needs a bit of wins right now with how strained things have been in the past several months. Astral also seems to be the brains behind getting this done, so big thank you there (and to anyone else I missed).

It's okay if you have any questions.


Nothing yet but they could announce tomorrow that they're purging everything from before a certain date. They probably won't cause tomorrow's Saturday, but you know what I mean.

If they don't, that's fine, we have them all and can proceed to host them ourselves. It's possible they only ever meant to delete the old 0 views files and porn, but they were never very specific so I am glad we don't have to trust them.

I think it also shows how the SA community can come together and work through a crisis. :unsmith:

If they were gonna delete stuff that hasn't been accessed for x amount of time, all the files that got hit by the caper would've also gotten a new lease of life, so that might make it less obvious as well.
