It's | It's {{CURRENTYEAR}} and you're [[Lurking|browsing]] [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. But somehow, that deliciously [[lulzy]] article or image from the [[Dead|old ED website]] is missing. Blame our '''incompetent lineage of ex-sysops''' for not keeping '''regular backups''', or for being too paranoid/busy doing drugs to provide backups of the site. As it stands now, a fuckton of the old images are missing or broke as shit, mostly cause the stupid things weren't included in the images backup we sourced the newest version of Encyclopedia Dramatica (.gay) from. Pretty gay amirite? Articles past late 2016 may be MIA war victims as well, and many, many, many of them are gone too. | ||

Some missing images are hosted on [https://web.archive.org/ The Wayback Machine]'s backups/archived versions of our articles. Keep in mind, we've had several domains over the years, including, (most recently) '''.rs''' , '''.se''' , '''.es''', (and before that we had '''.se''' - as well as '''.ch''' for a very brief time); As such you may need to go thru several archived domains of the article to find the thumbnail/image you are looking for. On most domains, like .rs, .es, .ch or .se, there wasn't an "index.php" between the domain and the article name, so you may have to get rid of it to get results. | Some missing images are hosted on [https://web.archive.org/ The Wayback Machine]'s backups/archived versions of our articles.

Other missing images are on archive.is, but you'll need to save them with the proper/original filename. To do that, right-click the thumbnail/image, click "copy link location"/"copy link" and then when you save the thumbnail or image from archive.is, you'll have to copypasta the link into the "Save As" filename box, and remove everything from the linkname pasted except the actual filename.

If you find a higher-resolution version of a missing image with Google Images and try to save it, you might notice that some of these images are stored in this weird "WebP" shit (especially if the image comes from a WordPress blog). If you notice this, download the image using wget, it bypasses WebP and lets you download it as a JPEG or PNG. | |||
