I finally understood why people save old forum posts after digging through a 2008 thread about a weird mall fountain

What if we're losing a whole layer of internet history? Like that 2008 thread probably had inside jokes, dead image links, and arguments that made no sense out of context. Saving those posts is like keeping a time capsule of how people actually talked online before everything got so polished and permanent.

My own posts from 2008 are the main reason I'm against this. I found a thread where I passionately argued about the best flavor of Doritos for three pages. That's the history they want to save, my terrible taste in snacks and forums.
