Whenever a forum dies, a lot of answered questions are lost that would have been useful to people googling it in the future.

Reddit is like the mother of all forums, and it also has had a lot of internet history being made on it.

I really think we need a Reddit archive that is availabel for random people from Google. The best case scenario is that Reddit just limps on for years, therefore doing this conservation work better than anyone else could.

    webarchive has a chunk im sure a couple of the index sites have copies at various points in time.

    now?

    there have been a lot of people actively removing and altering thier content, as it stands today, reddit itself is a terrible archive.
