Finally uploaded my 11,000+ stamp archive to archive.org! Sorry for the wait :'3
You can download it (here).
Features:
Over 11,500+ stamps! (~11,549 to be exact)
Large variety of stamps archived, including stamps from the early 2000s
WILL make your computer crash if you view them as anything bigger than small icons! (this happened to me twice! sad!)

So internet archive lost their lower court case. They're appealing, and have a good chance with the 2nd circuit, but they need help. Here's a link directly from one of their librarians for how you can help.

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.
for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.
so how can you help?
boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.
learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.
get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.
donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.
and finally…

it's come to my attention that a lot of people don't know about bluemaxima's flashpoint and genuinely think they'll never be able to play their favorite 00s internet games ever again so i just want to remind everyone that flashpoint is a huge internet flash game preservation project that allows you to play just about any internet flash game/animation despite the death of flash. if they've got it in their database (and they probably do) you can play it. go forth and drink in the 00s nostalgia
even if you think there's no way they'll have the game u want. they probably do anyway. when i first downloaded flashpoint i thought for sure theres no way they will have the obscure flash game i played for hours as a kid that was only even available on the internet for like 2 months in 2006. but you know what. they had it. seriously, download flashpoint

thanks to the hard work of the volunteer transcribers, we've finished transcribing 6,000 (!) blinkies archived from old geocities websites!
we've used the transcripts to build Geoblinkies, a blinkie search engine that searches the full text & image descriptions of all 6,000 blinkies!! you can also visit the Geocities page that each blinkie was found on, and explore the old web from there :D
thank you so much to the transcribers and to GifCities & the Internet Archive (the source of all of these blinkies) for making projects like this possible!!!

Where did you find the Petpet Park screenshots?
And can you do more Petpet park 🐶✨
i found them on archive.org's wayback machine! while it doesn't have the full game unfortunately, it lets you go onto certain parts of the website up until a certain point. you can check it out here (though i can't guarantee it'll be super functional at all points in time haha).
and yeah, of course! i might end up queueing some fansites and website assets as well, if i can find any.
