When I was making my Dragon Age shrine I was looking for inspiration on the web and it was somehow incredibly difficult for me to find much. Most results for "fanshrine" kept showing me Zelda Breath of the Wild videos and physical shrines with figures. However! your Zihark shrine came up a lot. I thought that was cool.
habitually deleting all posts older than a year or two, outside of certian artworks/resource posts that aged well.
Only in the last couple of years have I realized how important this is. Thankfully an old tweet of mine that was gaining random attention years later was met with a sensible "that's x years old" by the main person's friend and died before I even noticed what had happened. I then went through my old tweets and, yeesh, a lot of it was just garbage, like "live tweets" with the context long gone. I screenshotted some nice interactions I had, then deleted as much as I could for free with tweetdelete and some of the rest by hand until I didn't even care about the site anymore and left.
All that got me thinking more about "the right to be forgotten" and the "digital garden" line of thinking where it's perfectly acceptable to go back in an edit old posts keeping them alive, growing, and trimmed. Even weeding them if they're truly dead, to stick with the botany metaphor.
I had seen J.D. share your resource through She's At It Again, I See. It's reassuring to have a resource like that at hand. I'm happy to learn you haven't been dogpiled! Prevention is better than cure right? Thanks for the tips. Stay safe!
