Best way to share backups of the old boards?

Post by Baffle »

I backed the old boards into two pdfs. One for dreambook and one for the your webapps board. The dream book one was a converter I used before it closed. I think its missing stories that got bumped from the first page and never uploaded to a new archive. The webapps board, someone uploaded the whole database with every single thread archived as individual html docs. I just figured out how to convert that into one big (21,000 pages) pdf. These are searchable with ctrl+f.

Anyway, given that the backup for the webapps board went down and never came back, and searching archive.org is a hassle, is an easy way I can share these files here anonymously? I dont normally post about this kind of stuff. Or can I send them to someone on this board who can? The files are 10 and 20mb

The best simple way to share the files would be to make a burner Google account, upload them both to Google Drive, change the "sharing" to "anyone with the link", and then post the links in a thread. From that point on anyone could click those links to download the files. Google Drive stores up to 50 mb so your files will fit.

I sent it to you and the other user who asked via guerrilla mail. The address was @sharklaser or something. Sorry, it probably went to your spam and looks sketchy but other email clients werent playing nice with vpn

I dont think google likes when people make dummy accounts, especially on vpn and if I did they'd still want phone number verification. I'll figure something out but I can keep emailing it to anyone who asks and someone can host it

Dude, do you have ANY idea how many Google accounts I have? They want a phone number to text on creation but otherwise they don't give a damn.
