Not that anon, but yeah. He was working primarily on archiving google drive and some blogspot links (although that hasn't been brought up here yet). As you may have heard, Google accounts that are inactive for longer than 2 years can now be deleted at any time starting this month. This includes everything in their Google Drive. 2 years is a very short time, and a lot of people use Google Drive. Pretty bad news for old pony content.

I suppose you can give a rundown of what places have been crawled for links and how much has been saved so far. Also how others can help do both if need be.

During previous purges, I have suggested going through the old Ponychan threads archived on Wayback Machine. My understanding is that this is almost never done, so I suggest setting aside time to finally grab all the threads from there for future projects. There is probably a lot of hidden gems from the early days of the brony subculture. I'd assume that the following boards in particular are more likely to have Google Drive links:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ponychan.net/chan/collab/res/*
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ponychan.net/chan/media/res/*

Speaking of Ponychan, I appreciate posts like >>4085
