Farewell Yerf
Moderator:Æron
As some of you might know, the furry art site "Yerf" has been down for some weeks. A few days back on <a href='http://www.livejournal.com/community/yerf/55386.html' target='_blank'>Yerf's LJ</a> it said the problem was due to a head crash.<br><br>All the data is gone, and apparently there was no backup. Literally thousands of pages of art are gone. They are trying to piece what they can.<br><br>Another furry (mainly) art site, VCL, is also <a href='http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vclforum/showt ... adid=15122' target='_blank'>having problems</a>, but these are due to content and politics.

<SteveThePocket> Geez. I want more of this stuff now. Now I know how a horny guy on an imageboard feels.

I mentioned this on the LJ, but I'll repeat it here for those concerned. The <a href='http://www.archive.org' target='_blank'>Internet Archive</a> has a backup of the site; last time I checked at least <i>some</i> of the images were still there as well. I suppose Yerf's owner could contact them directly and get a bulk download of all the Yerf images they saved; I'm not sure what the Archive's policy is on that. Artists who were still posting there when the crisis hit can always re-upload their stuff, and the others can maybe still be contacted somehow. As for the rest, well, several users said they have downloaded a lot of images from Yerf over the years. Who knows, maybe between those three sources they can recover a good 80% of what they lost, maybe more.
