VampireFreaks

VampireFreaks.com was an online community for the Gothic–industrial subcultures. Created by site owner Jet Berelson in 1999.
== Shutdown announcement ==
It's difficult to find the original source for this, but on 2019-06-17 it has been announced that the social network is shutting down on 2020-02-01.
== Site structure ==
The site is quite a rabbit hole and we haven't fully identified everything yet.
* We've enumerated 121.663 account names and can continuously monitor for new signups.
* Every user has a profile, some of them require a login
* Every user has a gallery that may contain pictures hosted on pics.vampirefreaks.com, some of them require a login
* A profile may embed a number of songs that are loaded from songs.vampirefreaks.com, the cdn structure is identical with pics.vampirefreaks.com
* There seems to be a newsfeed style stream people post into
* There's a forum
* There are so called cults that seem to have their own "homepage" and may contain forums(?). Some(/All?) of them require us to join and some require an application process. We might have to pass on cults.
=== Known domains and subdomains ===
* songs.vampirefreaks.com
* pics.vampirefreaks.com
* icons.vampirefreaks.com
== Jobs ==
 There are about 18 GiB of pics at https://archive.fart.website/archivebot/viewer/job/etwtn collected from the reachable URLs in https://transfer.notkiska.pw/8CVkV/dqnny-fullsize-dedup.txt
== Warrior Project ==
A warrior project (as described in the infobox) was attempted shortly before the site shut down. However, unexpectedly, the site had Cloudflare DDoS protection on, which meant that any "high" (in normal terms, rather low) global request rate - such as one that could save more than a small portion of the site's information - caused everyone visiting it, including warriors, to get a CAPTCHA. Thus almost nothing was grabbed by the warriors.
Vanillo

Vanillo is a video sharing platform. It launched in December 2018 and was shut down on .
As of , a new version was up again, in "early beta". Possibly with a new owner/team but there might be some overlap as well. The videos from the previous version were not migrated over and are likely lost.
== Shutdown notice ==
=== Pre-shutdown ===
Vanillo is officially shutting down May 11, 2019 and all videos will be purged. If you would like to download your videos, please navigate to the videos you'd like to keep and press Download Video.
=== Post-shutdown ===
Thank you
Vanillo thanks you for the endless supply of content and support given to us during our existance.
We'll miss all the wonderful people watching, creating and sharing videos on our platform.
While Vanillo may be gone, the team behind it sure isn't.
You can find us here - take a peak at our latest projects too :)

Vendor-hosted forums

Vendor-hosted forums are unreliable in the long term, since they are more driven by vendors' commercial interests than by community interests. Additionally, they typically use proprietary content management systems, meaning a scraping script would need to be developed individually for each such forum.
For example, Apple has blocked users from their support forums for posting data recovery instructions.Jessa Jones CORRECTS Apple on data recovery and gets BANNED! (Louis Rossman, 2019) Samsung appears to be purging threads of legacy devices. For example, threads of the Galaxy S7 device appear to have been purged at some point, and existing links to such threads redirect to the home page."S7 Edge notification setting" thread, last available in 2017, redirects to home page as of March 2022.

VidLii

VidLii is a video platform launched in 2017 with the aim of recreating the 2008 YouTube experience for nostalgia.
== History ==
VidLii is not the first site that recreates an early YouTube experience. Before that, there were ZippCast and VidBlue, which shut down 2016 and 2018 respectively.
In its early days, VidLii featured the 2006 YouTube layout.VidLii.com (2017-06-16) A few weeks later, it was switched to the 2008 YouTube.VidLii.com (2017-08-01)
After VidLii changed its owner in 2022, the site started allowing gore videos, which presumably resulted in its eventual exclusion from the Wayback Machine in 2024.About Us - VidLii - "Originally launched by a college student, VidLii was acquired by a new owner in February 2022."Exclusion placed between 2024-04-22 and 2024-08-25.
== Features ==
Registered users can opt to see the 2009 or 2012 YouTube players, or the default JWplayer.
Channel owners can choose a layout for their channel: 2008 YouTube, 2010 YouTube, Cosmic Panda (2011-2012).

Viddy

Viddy was a video hosting service like Instagram. The service had its own url shortener service viddy.it, just to make sure the impact of the closure is even worse.
Viddy announced to be shutting down December 15th 2014 after joining Fullscreen.
See also Epic, another Viddy site, with the same shutdown date. ArchiveTeam saved that with tools developed for Viddy.
== Shutdown ==
Message on viddy.com website:
:"Viddy is powering down, but you’ll hear from us again soon…
:We’ve been building something new and exciting since joining Fullscreen in January, and as we focus on the future, Viddy will be pulled from the App Store on Tuesday, November 4th, 2014, and will officially shut down Monday, December 15th, 2014."

* www.viddy.it/Syv46W
=== API Scraping ===
Through scraping the public API (reference for dedicated API here - this mostly applies to the public API: http://viddy.com/v1/... ), computerfreak is compiling a list of user IDs (currently ~4 million retrieved) and media IDs (currently ~500k retrieved). These are available here (user IDs in the viddy_user* files, and the media data (UserID, MediaID, comment_count, like_count, view_count) in the viddy_medias* files).
The user IDs were obtained by doing a BFS on user's followers (script stopped after about 2 days of running), and the medias were then obtained by getting the media listings for each user. Obviously this is not every single user or every single video, but it is certainly a good starting point. As of Nov. 29, computerfreak is continuously running a script to get new user IDs and is pulling off the new IDs and fetching the associated media info.
== Archiving report ==
2014 November: Discovery started through URLTeam project, and user computerfreak also did an efficient discovery.
Video downloading: started 2014-12-01.
User pages downloading: started 2014-12-11.
Although viddy.com was shut down on 2014-12-15, some of the servers stayed alive, from which we went on downloading until 2014-12-17.
We grabbed what we knew of (discovered).

Videa.hu

videa.hu is a major Hungarian video hosting website. It was launched in 2006.
videa.hu belongs to New Wave Media Group, that runs several websites,https://nwmgroup.hu/index.html#portfolio mainly different kinds of news websites and magazines, including origo.hu, the second most popular Hungarian news website. Videa hosts the video content for these news websites, besides user-uploaded content.
Videos are browsable in 12 different categories. Number of uploaded videos in these categories add up to 700,000 as of October 2020. The video corpus seems to include a lot of copyrighted content (most popular categories are film/animation and music).

Video

Websites often make video hard to download. Luckily, there are simple tools to circumvent this.
==Command-line tools==
*yt-dlp can download from most video hosting services (even the most obscure ones): you only need to provide the normal URL you'd visit the video at. See the YouTube article for the recommended settings for archival quality.
*get-flash-videos focuses on the nasty flash videos
*RTMPDump allows dumping streams which use the rtmp:// protocol. However the exact URL and settings to use are often difficult to discover, see RTMPExploreX below.
*mplayer -dumpstream allows dumping older Windows Media or RealPlayer streams. (Do these exist anymore?)
==GUI tools==
*JDownloader 2 supports a large number of sites and is pretty easy to use but is Java-based and somewhat heavyweight.
==Browser-based methods==
*Firefox (Tools->Web Developer->Web Console) and Chrome (Tools->Developer Tools) have web developer consoles with a "network" pane which allow all file downloads made through the browser to be seen. If you turn these on prior to loading a video page you can usually spot the video file and open it in a new tab to download.
*FlashGot for Firefox is essentially an automated version of the above, it allows most flash-based videos to be downloaded by clicking a toolbar button after the page with the video has loaded.
*NicoFox for Firefox allows downloading from Nico Nico Douga, with support for site-specific features such as downloading user annotations and queuing a download for later if the server is under heavy load and only serving low-quality "economy mode" videos. An account on the site is required.
*RTMPExploreX is an Internet Explorer-based GUI allowing easy dumping of RTMP streams (used for live streams on e.g. Nico Nico and for some static video sites that try to prevent downloads). Usually if the video is not visible in FlashGot or the browser network pane this is what you will need. Windows only.
==Gotchas/difficult cases==
*Justin.tv/Twitch.tv stream recordings are downloadable via the above methods but note that the video rolls over to a different file every half hour, so you may have to use a browser-based method and seek ahead a few times to ensure you have gotten all the URLs.
*On some sites as an anti-download protection you will get a whole set of files with sequential names ending in _Frag1, _Frag2, etc. These can be merged back into a proper video file using the command-line AdobeHDS tool at . However it requires PHP to be installed and is not very easy to use.

Videok.hu

videok.hu was a Hungarian video sharing website. It was launched in 2006, and as of 2020-10-05, 6451 videos were hosted. It got quite deserted by the end of the 2010s.
The website was operated by Port Kft., which company is probably best known for running ingyenweb.hu.
user:bzc6p archived the website in October–November 2020. Bulk archive files are here: 0 1 2 3 4 5
As of 2024-10-23, the website has been out of service (apparently due to server issues) since at least 2024-07-16.
Category:Video hosting
Videoplayer.hu

videoplayer.hu was a Hungarian video hosting service. It started in 2006, and went down on April 1, 2010, with apparently nearly half a million videos.
Archive records suggest that a single line shutdown notice appeared, not more than a week before the shutdown.
During the whole operational period, the site was property of Sanoma Budapest Zrt.
After the shutdown, the videoplayer.hu domain redirected to hotdog.hu videos (until October 2011), then and since a page with the company's active services is shown.

Vidme

Vidme was a video hosting site similar to YouTube and Vimeo. It surged in popularity after YouTube started screwing over some of its content creators in the "Adpocalypse".
== Shutdown ==
On December 1st 2017, Vidme's co-founder Warren Shaeffer announced that Vidme was going to be "suspended" at the middle of the month in favor of a newer product. In reality, it reads like a shutdown instead since videos are being erased. When trying to visit the channel pages of users, some information including links to videos, video titles and total view counts are displayed. When trying to visit a video page after the shutdown, it still displays metadata such as title, upload date and former view count of that video.
Vidme came a long way as an independent platform, but we couldn’t find a path to sustainability. We’re building something new.
After careful consideration, the Vidme team has arrived at the difficult decision to suspend the Vidme site and apps effective December 15th at noon PT. We’ll use this blog post to explain what this means for users, how we got here, and what’s next for us.
What this means for users
* New sign-ups and uploads will be disabled effective today.
* Existing videos will be playable and exportable from your video manager until December 15th at noon PT, at which point they will be permanently deleted from the Vidme servers.
* All paid channel subscripitions will be suspended immediately, and subscriber-only videos will be exclusively accessible by their video owners.
* Any outstanding earnings will be paid out upon verification within 60 days.
* All Vidme paid subscriptions will cease as of today, and subscribers will no longer be billed.
Please see our FAQ for more details, and email us at hello@vid.me with any questions.https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa
The rest of the Medium post goes into detail on why they started the site (hoping to break YouTube's monopoly on revenue sharing to creators), and the struggles they faced when trying to reach their goal.
== Site Structure ==
* Video's URLs are in this format: https://vid.me/<VIDEO_ID>
* <VIDEO_ID> is a base-64 or base-62 encoded number.
* It is possible to generate a list of URLs by incrementing the number. The size of <VIDEO_ID> is four or five characters for virtually all videos. This results in theoretically 64^5 = 1,073,741,824 possible <VIDEO_ID>'s.

Anoyne with an account can upload content to the site.
The creators of Viduro also created an animated show, “The Flowinity Show”, which looks like an .
== Vital signs ==
Their website repeatedly had availability issues in May 2019. As of July 2021, it redirects to a Japanese website that seems to be completely unrelated.
As of 20190514 and 20190515, the owner's website http://troplo.com/ can also not be reached. As of June 2021, it can be reached, but it specifically states at the top "I do not provide hosting services anymore."

Vimeo

Vimeo is a video sharing website.
In late 2021/early 2022 Vimeo started emailing creators in the top 1% of bandwidth usage to tell them that they need to pay thousands of dollars per year to continue using the service..
A user created a script to download videos from one's own channel.
== Downloading individual videos ==
Logged in users can easily download individual videos using the 'Download this video' link on every page, although there is a limit of five downloads per day per person, and 100 downloads per video per day. More details are available in the Vimeo FAQ.
