Thread: SR20 Archive

So one day when I was frustrated with the search and google not being able to see this site and threads with dead pictures I decided to start a google drive strictly to backup and store SR20 Technical info and other things related so it was always at my finger tips and easy to search and filter results. Right now it doesnt have too much but over time I'm adding more and more. I'd also be willing to make it collaborative so other people can add to it. Should be able to access it at the link below. Let me know if you can't. Basically making it for myself and figured I'd share.

SR20 Archive - Google Drive

That's pretty cool. Never know when the site goes down and may need something specific.

Yeah, thats the idea. Less of a chance of Google going down lol. Just hate coming across an old thread walk through I'm looking for and all the images are dead. This should help, just gonna be a long road filling it up with as much information as on here/old site, but hopefully it can be useful for the community

There are browser plugins to bypass the Photobucket image hostage situation if that helps?

Yeah, I know that one. I've come across a few threads (not just here) with dead images completely, not just host blocked. See all the write up referencing pictures that no longer exist. Just figured i'd try to grab some of those before where ever they are hosted goes away or is sold off.

Which brings up a suggestion, is there a way to host images from the host of this site, similar to how B15U.com - A Nissan Sentra Forum - B15U.com Home does? When adding a picture you can link it via the URL like standard or you have to option to either upload it to B15U.com - A Nissan Sentra Forum - B15U.com Home or it can pull the url and host it locally some how. That would make sure all images are hosted here. Dont know if coding that feature in would be worth it at this point though since traffic is a lot lower

I now hate Photobucket with a passion.

Basically overnight and without warning they suddenly demanded $399 to allow your photos to be hotlinked.

There is a lot of discussion of this topic here: Major Forum Changes Ahead

Read the relevant posts there (Vadim really pushes for the feature) and ask any additional questions in that thread.
