The NorLinkArchiveBot has been busy here in the last few months, popping up 15-20sec after a post with a link it doesn't like with the archive link.
Time to have a look at the pros and cons.
>Archive linking helps stop sites that get ad revenue off clicks from getting those click from 4chinz The bot is not very discerning about who it archives - it archives abc.net.au - which is an ad free national broadcaster yet leave dailymail.co.uk links alone >In general, the type of personal information DMA collects and holds could include (but is not limited to) your name, address (postal and email), contact details, geographic location (including your suburb or post code), gender, your IP address, information relating to the location of the device you use to access our Site, .transaction details relating to your use of DMA products and services and any preferences you tell us about.
The bot is clearly a bot - the response time is too fast for even the most weaponised autismo but it's also monitred. In discussions with the Norway flagged bot it's also made it clear that when it comes to vids it downloads vids (probably using rtmpdump and or youtube-dl). This in itself should be a fucking MAJOR red flag. I have also seen the same archive posting style using other flags - probably safe to say that if it is one person running a bot, they're also using a proxy or vpn. When pressed about whether he's working/shilling for archive.is the bot usually goes on an ad hominem offensive and avoids the question all together.
My point is - for a site where one of the main tennets should be >Question everything Everytime I see the orbiters saying >hurr durr, thanx Based NorLinkbro I am left thinking >hang on a minute....
There are a multitude of link archive sites out there and in denying clickbait sites their advertising dollaryoos I have no problems BUT and it's a big one... don't just go to one particular site because some "based bro" here told you to. Archive or search for your own archived links.
The bot clearly has an agenda in only sending us to one site and only archiving some links and not others.

If the norway guy doesn't archive it because he sleeps I do it this week. My plane is in maintenance and there's nothing better to do.
Also I enjoy your tears about your lost ad shekels. Go back flooding rebbit with clickbait.
Justin Brooks
Shut up hes our national treasure, norways gift to the world.
Bentley Turner
he used to use archive.org but the consensus feedback he got was to use archive.is since it has been the most common article archiving site here since it was archive.today during goobergate shit
why is downloading videos a major red flag?
Elijah Williams
yup noticed as well NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER TRUST AN AUSTRALIAN
Andrew Morgan
There are heaps of alternatives - why just that site?
>why is downloading videos a major red flag? If he's saving specific posters links a(while telling them to hooktube) and he's cross referencing posters with their yt accounts, doesn't that take the monitoring thing to a different level all together?
Cheers.

Brody Myers
>tfw you forget Solskjaer and THAT goal
Grayson Fisher
Listen, you leave Nord-Archive-Bot alone, or else we'll have you half way up tower hamlets
Kayden Clark
what other alternatives are there? besides, he uses another service unrelated to archive.is for youtube links, so he's not using just that site.
i have no idea what point you're trying to make about the video downloading shit. if people are on here shilling their own YT channels he doesn't post a hooktube link, it only gets used when people post cancer like vice or boogie and there's no way for him to figure out what your posting history here is from you clicking a link.
Nolan Mitchell
>someone says something I disagree with >REEEE normie shill get out!
Pot, meet kettle.
Robert Reed
Wayback's been mentioned and webcite Those are literally 2 I can think of without searching. Their provenance may be dubious but then again what do wee know of archive.is (or any other subdomains they hold) and their background/provenance?
when users here are clearly posting comments on yt (and it's able to be cross referenced) & he's dl and archiving those vids and these threads - that doesn't make you sit up and take notice.
I'm not accusing him of being a shill - I'm suggesting we should be more discerning than just to trust him... There's a difference.
Samuel Diaz
>I'm suggesting we should be more discerning than just to trust him
And I'm suggesting the same thing about you... checkmate nigger.
Colton Johnson
>I'm suggesting we should be more discerning than just to trust him... thats what I was just suggesting about YOU hypocrite convict mental midget
Gabriel Scott
They're gonna ban you for sharing that guy's whois
Also don't worry, it's a fake name.
The norbot was in a previous thread discussing with me (the guy who monitors it) and when I confronted him with these arguments he went "Haha I don't need a few thousand pol ips, I couldn't sell that for $10"
The dumbass indirectly confirmed it's HIS privately-owned website. He owns archive.is and hooktube (registered 2 months ago).
Sup Forumsacks thinks he's not selling their data and that he's paying the hosting bill in Jew tears.
The total amount of archive.is links from last year on pol is 92,000 based on archives.
If we calculate at least 5 visits per link (as the lowest possible average) that means pol sent this guy half a million page views.
This is a kike attack on Sup Forums that mods drown out because they think archiving is a new phenomenon from 2017 and they let the guy shill here.
Josiah Flores

Sebastian Clark
Please post reliable archive sites. I already know about archive.org.
I'm gonna rewrite my tool to use random ones to frustrate shills even more. Their pain excites me.

Based norge user. Fight these MSM clickbait shills and these bad we journalist that update later the news to fin in their agenda. I use the 2 too - archive.is and wayback machine.

If you do this and prove OP's suspicions are falls I will suck your viking cock to the fucking ragnarok. But if you won't do this you still do good work although we should question everything so pleas don't attack OP.
Owen Gray
tracking cookies
>I know literally nothing about tracking
You don't need cookies to get all the info mentioned in OP's post. Cookies are for active sessions and remembrance. You just need to open a web page. This guy successfully diverted all traffic on pol to his archiving website.
If he changes it to archive.org wayback machine I won't shill against him
But he won't because he has interest in keeping his archive shekels
Jonathan Ross
This
Ryan Sanchez
This!
Sebastian Peterson
exactly We don't attack nordbot but we have questions and he can prove his good intentions very easy. No offence to him if he is sincere.
Colton Diaz
While I'm pretty sure the Norway Bot is on the level, it does make sense to at least do a quick look into archive.is and see if they're making any money off of what they do and, if yes, what they're spending that money on.
Wyatt Young
>his archive site If that were the case I wouldn't have time to post so much. The guy who runs it is constantly working on it to fix shitty capturing of certain designs and to obtain paywalled content.
Any way, moot point since I'll use random ones starting later in the day. Send more suggestions ->
Jason Carter
i talked to the guy he said he has a script warning him of a thread without an archive link
Brody Cox
the hero we need but dont deserve have you ever thought about applying for janitor?
William Ortiz
>I'm gonna rewrite my tool to use random ones to frustrate shills even more. Go for it. How about actually archiving sites that run on advertising as well while you're at it.
Cheers m8. Good to know I'm not the only voice in the darkness.
Yes.... but why do we HAVE to go to (((his))) site?
Dominic Hill
>archive.is Yeah, I've never understood why archive.is seems to be the main one. Are any of them even related? How do we know these archives are actually fucked with?
Hunter Robinson
i mean why not? why would i give money to the jews when i can give it to some autist who at least tries to make this shit board a little better?
Parker Baker
>The bot is not very discerning about who it archives - it archives abc.net.au - which is an ad free national broadcaster yet leave dailymail.co.uk links alone it archives liberal sites. dailymail isn't liberal.
Charles Myers
The ABC is a Marxist shithole and it does have advertisers and they do use metrics to monitor traffic.
Secondly - even if it's a rival company looking to diminish the earnings of a leftist clickb8 shithole...good?
Now the only thing that is a minor concern is that archive was compromised during the election cycle for a project run by a U.S. university that works alongside the various intelligence agencies.

Joshua Flores
>I've never understood why archive.is seems to be the main one Personally, I really like the short, human-typeable URLs (for transcribing from memes) And the site itself is very easy to use
But there does seemto be a sense of cargo culting going on with the site
Caleb Murphy
It also stops the sites from knowing how many people on Sup Forums are reading their shitty articles...
Nathan Collins
When you archive a site doesn't that archiving site also have to view the page you are depriving of clicks?
Ryan Collins
Sgills would be better served just posting an archive link off the bat and then shilling their garbage instead of trying to convince everyone nor-bot is the bad guy
Christian Bell
interesting, thanks yeah, it works well. are the other archive.**'s related?
Charles Perez
That's a job anyone can do, and I wouldn't be accepted because I don't have a post history. My IP is constantly changing and cookies get cleared.
>How about actually archiving sites that run on advertising as well while you're at it. Concern troll. Not going to feed your conspiracy theories.
Personally I always preferred .org links since you can see the url it contains. I think it has to do with archive.org archives being too easily taken down with a robot.txt entry. And what said. Archive.is links are more convenient for info type pictures.
Elijah Jones
>throwing pearls to pigs
Nicholas Russell
Of course, but only once.
Cameron Phillips
Which is crucial since Jewgle is using Sup Forums traffic to determine what content to suppress.
Matthew Carter
>Are any of them even related? Breddy sure they own a few subdomains >How do we know these archives are actually fucked with? We don't. But don't you think it's wiser to question than just blindly accept?
>when i can give it to some autist who at least tries to make this shit board a little better? But is he? He only archives links he thinks should be archived. What's his metric for determining what should be archived or not? If it's to stop ad revenue then he's failing. Dismally.
What advertisers? The abc has VERY strict guidelines for what they can advertise and what cross site stuff they can do. So, again, what advertisers does the abc have? >Now the only thing that is a minor concern is that archive was compromised during the election cycle for a project run by a U.S. university that works alongside the various intelligence agencies. Thank you for reinforcing my point.
And sends lots of free traffic to the archive site from here.... It's a live archive. But at least the archive site doesn't get ad revenue from some clickb8 sites... Or do they?
>Concern troll. Not going to feed your conspiracy theories. There you go with that ad hominem I was talking about earlier.
Adrian Watson
I've noticed the Norway guy too, but he's not a bot. Bots don't have conversations with you.
so encourage other people to archive other news sites not on norbros list
I've started doing it and you literally have to copy paste into archive and you don't even have to wait for the shit to load because by the time you post the archive link the page will be loaded for everyone else
Liam Lopez
>are the other archive.**'s related? as far as i've been able to tell, yes archive.li has the same whois info as archive.is empty whois for archive.fo but there was no apparent cosmetic difference as the URLs bounce around (sometimes you visit .is and get redirected to .fo without any apparent rhyme or reason)
Aiden Price
Anyone who uses the term conspiracy theory unironically is either a dumb liberal or a intelligence service member and can't be taken seriously.
>>Concern troll. Not going to feed your conspiracy theories. >There you go with that ad hominem I was talking about earlier. That's literally the definition of concern trolling. You tried to affect a bad outcome through the posting of concerns, which makes them insincere.
John Brown
Nor-Bro idk what we ever did to deserve a hero like you. But thank you
Elijah Wright
Nah, it's a monitored script. I've posted and his post is already up when mine appears - even the NEET autismos here aren't *that* fast.
Carson Reyes
But that wasn't an ad hominem attack. You are in fact concern trolling. False flagging shekel grubbing kike
Isaac Roberts
He chooses to provide an archive link, but the original link still exists therefore so does the choice. He doesn't provide archive options for every link, other anons could do if they choose. I don't see the problem, I pick the archive link for most and sometimes go to the initial link.
Jayden Roberts
You're jealous that we like him aren't you? All those hours of shitposting from your shitty metered connection, staying up late for peak traffic so your posts get noticed, putting effort into your worthless wordplay - all for naught.
Justin Allen
>a concern troll is someone who is on one side of the discussion, but pretends to be a supporter of the other side with "concerns". How have I allied myself with the archive linker?
I see the need for a link archive. Just not his. Maybe the mods need to weigh in here and decide if we need a mandated link site and exactly which site should be archived?
>tfw the entire internet apart from 4chinz ends up on archive.is
Noice. Cunt.
Joshua Powell
Checked.
Jackson Gray
Who fucking cares you stupid fucking cunt, archive.is isn't what is trying to fucking destroy western civilization.
