GIF isn't going anywhere. Or at least it better not be. I hoarded a massive collection of gifs from the GeoCities age and to date have not found a better format to convert them to, not to mention some of them were created with quirky software and I doubt they will encode correctly. Oh and I am not getting rid of my YTMND collection. It is getting harder to play my collection of SWF's. Maybe they should write about the death of shockwave animated cartoons and games, or at least their popularity.
- dmarchand90 4y agoNice, are these gifs available in any publicly viewable way?
- LinuxBender 4y agoNot at the moment. I used to keep them in a /gif dir on one of my sites but too many people were hotlinking instead of copying them and since I did not create most of them it felt like taking them down was the right thing to do.
- techdragon 4y agoDepending on the total collection size I’d be interested in reducing the bus factor on this data, as a more recent collector of internet antiquities like ancient gifs, It would be cool to add some genuinely old files to my archives, so I personally would love to get my hands on a copy of that. Email in my profile if your interested.
