>Users need to take a few extra steps to archive what is important to them and have personal backups that can't be taken down or compromised.
A lot of them do that by default, even on halfchan which has 4plebs to archive for them. Indeed not as much, but still nonetheless.
>Depending on a single archive as a solution to this issue is a terrible idea.
It is not really a matter of having that purely for archiving purposes, for that you could just use the shit we already have, you could even paste shit in a notepad. The main reason to ever want a special archiving site is so that you could search, filter and analyse, which is something that screencaps and archive.is do not provide. I am the one that looks after the /polarchive/ shill thread and having analytic tools for only 4chan is a pain in the ass.
>If this site changes the code slightly that archive stops working, I've seen it happen several times already. That archive has a bit of downtime and the posts aren't archived either. It's a great service but it also gives a false sense of security.
This I can agree with, but I am certain that quite a few other Anons are also aware of this, as shown by the fact that the GG boards use archive.is even though they already get archives for their board.
