One of the moments when i knew this situation with wallstreet was serious was when posts started disappearing and one ape took it on themselves to start backing up the community’s communications. u/Elegant-Remote6667 has gone to amazing lengths to archive and, just as importantly, make available all the facts, fun, and fud of the last couple years and for that I am grateful. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, so I am glad once all the shit goes down and fingers start getting pointed that apes will have a trove of date stamped proof that we were not the baddies, that we figured things out early, and that we tried our best to comment against and warn of what was coming.

Thanks Elegant for apehistorian.com and everything you’ve done, and as reddit comes off the rails, I hope our decentralizations don’t prove to be an end to the archive.
