    I’m not sure what you are trying to say, we shouldn’t be concerned because this problem already happened?

    A lot niche older vehicle information, if it wasn’t hosted on Reddit, was often on forums funded by enthusiasts, which eventually ran out of money and no longer exist. This is exactly the problem that I’m concerned about. Particularly so if a certain community balloons in popularity and an admin nukes it to keep the server costs under control for the other members.

      Completely what I’m saying, but to add on it is not just forums. With the new web, I’ve hit a deadend on many OEM websites as well, and part websites, and others. I’m sure cell phone and computer information is similar, in fact after trying to research a power supply for my old prebuilt I know it’s a fight.
