Old Webms Showing 404 Errors
So I was looking through some old webms on the site here and noticed many if not all of the webmshare links lead to a "404 - Not Found" page. This also happened to webms not uploaded by me so it has to be something we're all doing wrong. I set my webms private and to never expire (God's Will) so I'm not sure what the problem is. We may need to look at alternative archive methods/sites if this continues to be a problem

I've updated posts https://sthg.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=9442
and
https://sthg.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=9283
with new links, but I don't know how long they'll stay up.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Because at the moment it seems we'll have to periodically post new links to old webms which kinda defeats the purpose of a booru.

Oh woops I didn't notice your topic post.
I talked about it in my second post here.
https://sthg.booru.org/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=9&pid=0#22

Basically search by filenames of booru posts on the archive sites to find the source of files.
File names are very important. I also talk about how copying & pasting the filename to the title tab really helps out as much as using source links. They are quickly done to.

Source links are very important when referring to OG content posted outside of the Sthg Thread though, like for other boards outside of vg and other sites.

I suggested https://mixtape.moe in my post. But I don't know if that's a forever archive site. Either way, uploading the filename will have the webm hosted on the 4chan archive sites, which will be much more reliable to not expire. But keep uploading linking to sites other than webmshare if you find them. So its quicker to play the video

You've been uploading filenames for some webms and files and that's really helpful cause I can then find them on the archive sites for sthg posts.

again go here to read it.

Unfortunately mixtape.moe is shutting down indefinitely March 31st, 2019. So that isn't really an option for us.

I'll continue to use webmshare until I find a better alternative and keep the filenames so the files could still be searched on archive sites like fireden. In addition to that I'll start posting the fireden/desuarchive link in the comments so the files could be found even easier. If I find something more permanent I'll let you know.

Oh dang, that's too bad.

I'll try to retrieve all the webms I posted that 404'd I most likely have the rest, I'll post their archive link in the source tab so people see that first, then have the webm link the farther in the tab, since source tab holds alot of text.

Like for example "https://boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/240451812/#240478925 --- https://webmshare.com/Ynj0j"

Thanks for informing me about the shutdown.

Keep up the title tab filenames though and carry on.
