 >full siterip of Fakku pirate site is uploaded
:nep_happy: 
>thousands of archives lack metadata
:awoo_worry: 
>a solid chunk of them have been vandalized and dropped to absurdly low resolution
>this may or may not be due to the site owner throwing a tantrum last year about "scrapers" and downscaling everything on the site for like 4 months
:tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: 

I am actually going to have to do this myself, huh? I'm gonna have to fucking rip everything off Fakku my own damn self, at my own expense, cause fucking shills and scammers and narcs won't allow any ripping operation to exist in peace. :hoshino_ultraweary: 

I legitimately don't even know what I have relative to what's out there, or an easy way to check to see whether an archive has been vandalized or not, or any easy way to import metadata that's missing. I have no fucking clue where to even start, I've got all the pieces it feels like, but no idea what to do with any of them.

 @Mofunova8 :puddicat_touchtail: :senko_tail:  start with nyaa. They've got good quality fakku rips there's just nothing that's been consolidated and they lag behind a little

 Really shouldn't be whining about this, I'm not really in a bad position right now, I'm just frustrated at how needlessly overcomplicated this all is. Might just sit on what I have for now and hope that a new site comes up. Somebody in the /h/ thread was talking about getting one up in the next few days, but the guys in there are full of shit 99% of the time so who knows. :akko_weary: 

At the end of the day, I have at least the stuff I found and liked downloaded, and I have the archives stashed away on my drives, so I'm at least doing better than the guys who didn't have anything at all. :shrug:

I'm just really not looking forward to trying to sort, deduplicate, and tag something like 30k+ files. :fuuka_aah:
