I was actually present in the irc when /djt/ was moved to /int/. The decision was followed up by this thread, but I could not respond immediately due to my busy schedule.

A lot of times, I wondered if perhaps, in the course of moderating, we have turned into "witches", suppressing the fun of /a/ in order to achieve a semblance of "post quality".

Today, I dug out my old trusty Vaio laptop which I bought in 2007, as well as other HDD and storage media. I wanted to retrieve the feel of the old /a/ which I have forgotten.

There wasn't much. And they only date back till around 2007. But those were the threads which interested me when I was an underage&b. (I was on 4chan earlier than that, but I doubt I saved anything, and that other computer is probably donated to some vintage museum).

I have made available the files I found here. They probably can't be found elsewhere
