Oh yeah, there used to be so many things you could find there. Some of the most dedicated people who had huge repositories of anything you'd want. I have a happy memory from how resourceful 4chan used to be. I was into the manga artist Hideshi Hino and I asked around if anyone had an English pdf of his book "Panorama of Hell." Turns out no such scans existed, but someone owned a worn copy from 1993, they scanned it, cleaned it up in Photoshop, then just gave it out for free. It was the first scan of the book anyone knows about and I kinda feel like I was part of that, helping keep the interest alive. It was one of the nicest things anyone online has ever done for me and it was from 4chan of all places.
Aye, it used to be amazing - great shit almost every day. Someone would, just for the fuck of it, upload hi-res versions of Van Gogh paintings or Frank Lloyd Wright's drawings for his projects.
