Info

  • This archive is done largely with a script and it will be updated every now and then, depending on the frequency of new posts.

  • No text posts, youtube videos or albums linking to sites other than imgur are included.

  • I've removed a few submissions which weren't strictly album-write ups and edited some titles a bit.

  • The archive spans the whole life time of this sub.

  • Note that reposts are not necessarily distinguished in any way but their flair. For example, there are 3 Komodo dragon posts, all with the same name (but 2 different authors posted at 3 different times).

Enjoy!
