At least for imgur it should be possible for forum operators (and users, if they use some browser to redirect URLs) to search and replace old imgur links with links to the Wayback Machine as the Archive Team is saving many of the files. Some info on this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_the_Wayback_Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_the_Wayback_Machine Random example: https://i.imgur.com/t8UbDz1.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/t8UbDz1.jpeg can be redirected to https://web.archive.org/web/202304id_/https://i.imgur.com/t8UbDz1.jpeg https://web.archive.org/web/202304id_/https://i.imgur.com/t8... Looking at the URL: https://web.archive.org/web/ https://web.archive.org/web/ - The base domain for the Wayback Machine. 202304id_/ - 202304: the year and month the archive was done (2023, 04). It will redirect you to the copy closest to that date instead of showing the latest, which might be a good backup or not (eg: a 404 page). - id_: shows the file as it was saved, no wayback machine toolbar, can be hotlinked. For pages, instead of "id_", either don't use it and you'll get a page with the toolbar or use "if_" as it corrects the path to css/js/etc without displaying the toolbar.
