This is the thread where you post the oldest /a/ image you have saved.
Or maybe the one that you've never gotten a chance to use?

What was the actual origin of the term "DFC" anyway? Was there a specific original or did it just sort of form up organically?
>>135543747
It's a little bit comforting to see that some things never change.
>>135543914
I think it came from /l/, originally.

Why would you download images when you can see them easily from the web at 1080p?

It was only about 15GB of images and music anyway. The rest of the space was video and manga I deleted regularly.
>>135544892
Couldn't you have just alt+print screen'd it?
The oldest macros I have are in a pentium 4 dell that is in my parents house.
I moved away in 2009 but I had a laptop back then which then died.
My oldest drive is from 2010 so that's the oldest I have, back when godhand was a regularly posted meme.
So I'd say not worth it.

I used to have tons of images from 2006. Then when I was migrating my files to a new hdd I realized I don't care about memes anymore, and neither does /a/ nowadays. So I just deleted those folders. It felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders honestly.
Cropped for obvious reasons

but then i became the anime freak, 10ish years later and i'm basically the same person except for my heavily increased mass.

Do you remember the name of that? I swear I have it saved somewhere but I couldn't find it last time I looked.
>>135545065
If your XySubFilter or whatever you use if properly configured then just set this setting in MadVR.
It should allow you to use internal screencap unless you have something else fucking up your subtitle layer.
>>135547175
wew, didn't know I had to get that
I just use the MPC-HC, but thanks anyways
>>135547162
Also to add to that, it was a short h-manga or doujin, don't remember, but someone had made a fake translation, that pic was part of the fake, and included a bunch of 4chan memes in it. It was mostly about cake

I thought I'd lost everything, but there's actually some old stuff on my ancient photobucket.

Nazi Azumanga stuff was always a favorite in the old days.

I'm pretty sure this was from the last decade. There was a time when a lot of Yotsuba edits were posted.
I started coming here regularly in about the spring of 2006, a magical time when Haruhi Suzumiya, Higurashi, and Musashi Gundou were all the rage.

And finally, this one isn't directly old /a/ content, but it was mixed in there and I thought you guys might find it funny - my own battlest/a/tion circa '05, resplendent with CRT monitors and TV and the typical trappings of a 19 year old weeaboo fucktard of the period.
I lost some of my old sorted folders but I knew I had some nazi Osaka in my unsorted ones

Side note, what is the best way to prepare for an inevitable (let's face reality) HDD crash?
The obvious solution is some kind of RAID array, but I don't have enough money to shell out for the extra hardware - my understanding is that for RAID, you'd need at least twice the space of what you want to be constantly backing up. And there are different RAIDs one can use.
The barbarian, caveman solution that I have going right now is that there is an old 2TB external drive I just dumped all the things I really care about into, and every few months I go in and update it. But this is prohibitively time consuming and I'd rather not just delete everything on the external storage and start mass-copying data all my to it again each time. In fact I did this once, and decided it was for retards (currently, me).
Is some kind of RAID array the only way to go to combat failures? Is buying 2 or more times the necessary space a large but worthwhile investment? Cause If any of my HDDs crashed (currently, 4), I'd run towards the nearest living thing and kill it. Luckily, I haven't had a single crash yet, despite leaving my computer on large amounts of time. (For those curious, the brands I use are: 3 WDC drives (one from 2006), a MAXTOR drive (from 2008), and an intel SSD, newest.)
>>135549448
Even demotivators were commonplace...
>>135549519
>One day people will be saying the same thing about images we post now.
They're already saying it. I can't think of a single thing that you won't get shit for posting anymore.
>>135549527
>The barbarian, caveman solution that I have going right now is that there is an old 2TB external drive I just dumped all the things I really care about into
That's what I'm doing, and I don't care for any new-fangled approach to doing it you may throw at me.In all seriousness, a HDD crash is one of my greatest fears.

No, "board culture" is just ever-present off-topic cancer that faggots use as an apology when they don't want to discuss anything board-related. 2004 cancer is still cancer even if it's "we oldfags now".
Feel free to talk about things that happened in past, but most people here just posted image macros or reaction images, barely anything that could be labeled good old OC.
