[Celebration] The dream is once again alive my friends.

Reddit has randomly decided to unarchive every post, which means our glorious dream it’s still possible.

I don’t know what to say other than I hope we get there this time and thank you all for sticking around after all of this time even though I’ve been pretty dead, you’re all amazing.

I’ll try to be a little more active and I encourage all of you to do the same, with any luck we might be able to one day achieve our golden dream.

EDIT: Yo..who tf dumped 100 awards overnight? I got 300 of you I have to say thank you to now, this is going to take a while.

EDIT2: BAM, replied to all 400+ new awards, I’m going to lay down.

Usually when a post is 6 months old (180 days) Reddit archives it. This means no one can upvote or comment on it.

But now for whatever reason they have reversed that process on every single post and you can once again upvote and comment.

Why would that matter for linking the post tho

It doesn’t, I don’t know why people are making that’s assumption.

But it does mean we can reach the top of reddit one day once again.

Finally. I can once again wait 20 seconds for a single image post to load because it has way too many awards, and it‘ll take longer every single time I see it. A day worth celebrating

The wait time has surprisingly decreased recently, yesterday it loaded after roughly 2 seconds rather than the 5 to 7 if used to.

You sure you didn’t just get better WiFi?

u/spectra2000_ You fell for it Fool! Oct 17 '21

They have been messing with the Wi-Fi lately so maybe that’s it.

Yeah I heard they got rid of redditremoved and they're trying to stop archiving.

u/spectra2000_ You fell for it Fool! Oct 18 '21

They don’t own removeddit though, and I’m pretty sure i saw a few days ago.

I doubt it will go away since archiving is still really good for things that got deleted permanently and people want to be able to see again.

Reddit unarchived old posts a while back so you could upvote the TCSA post again. The idea was to try and boost it to the number one spot again but it didn’t have the momentum that it used to have.
