    it's fucked up that literally everything from the sub is gone. they could have closed up the community (stopped new posts/comments) but left everything up so we could look through it. i want to see the bunny cop post again but i can't

        you can dig up some shit by using pushshift if you remember keywords

        example:

          that's why this new internet sucks. if you want to look at old forum threads you can. you can look at somethingawful threads from 9/11/2001. it's insane and awesome and this new shit will never let us have that stuff ever again

      another example just for the nostalgia value of the thread names:

      https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/submission/search?q=zootopia&subreddit=chapotraphouse

          I just tried and I could only get the subreddit feed, no comments or posts. Plus no way to search for the zootopia struggle sesh. It may be lost forever

            What happened to the archive of the sub someone here posted when we were just getting started?

        Trouble is the wayback machine and search engines and web crawlers in general couldn't access the subreddit when it was quarantined because you needed an account
