It's all added, you can get the scrapper <<github.com/Mattlau04/hypnopics-collective.net-scrapper|here>>

I downloaded it all, but my hard drive tends to have a lot of corruption so I invite you to download his stuff yourself as well just in case

well its abit late, but i tried utilizing this and i can confidentally say im woefully out of my element here, so can you tell me how to start it?

Have you heard of Recuva?
It takes advantage of how your computer deletes things to recover files.
Basically, when your computer deletes a file or folder or anything, it's not actually deleted yet; just removed from what your computer has indexed as readable space on your drive, and leaves it in overwritable space, allowing it to be overwritten later, but not destroyed yet.
Recuva searches this "void" space for files that aren't destroyed, allowing you to recover them.

you need python 3 (just get it from the python website, preferably python 3.9)
then you download the script (you can use <<github.com/Mattlau04/hypn...chive/refs/heads/main.zip|this link>> for a direct download)
The finally you open a cmd window where you have the script's folder and type

(that's bc the script uses external dependencies)

If you don't know how to open a cmd window, just open the windows explorer and navigate to the folder with the script and requirements.txt, then type "cmd" in the path bar

once the requirements are installed, you can just open the script by double clicking on it

In the end i just compiled it in an exe, you can download it by clicking <<github.com/Mattlau04/hypn...s-collective.scrapper.exe|here>>

do note when I tried it, my antivirus blocked writing files, so if you get error "[Errno 13] Permission denied", try disabling it

thanks alot for all the help, I have one more question though, when the scrappers asks me for my id, what is it reffering to exactly? ive tried to locate it to no success.

im now realizing that its probably reffering to the other accounts username when it says that, in any case i havent been able to get it running yet, so far it just leaves a blank folder, any advice?

the id is at the end of the URL, for example:
hypnopics-collective.net/...llery;sa=myimages;u=20101
so the ID for smuthunter2007 is 20101

sorry for the late reply, hope you can back it up before it's gone

alright its working perfectly now, luckily i got to it in time, once again thanks for all the help

Np, glad I could help!

Fuck, of course I only discover this *now*. Would anyone happen to be willing to share some of their backups?

If no one else can, i can share mine but i have very bad internet so i'd rather not have to upload it if someone else could share it

I have my own backup as well if anyone needs it, it's only about 800-900 MB in size so uploading it to something like <<litterbox.catbox.moe/|litterbox>> should be easy enough, just shoot me a message if you're interested

Alternatively (or in addition to) I've already gone through before and separated the irl manips from the anime ones, if none of the admins have a problem with it I could start uploading those to the site proper so that they won't end up lost in time

I saved every picture from both archives so if anyone wants it message me if you can't get a hold of anyone else.

Do you still have backups?

I do if needed.
