We host, and we credit.
Every entry is a copy kept on WYSYCU's own servers, with the original site named and linked beside it. If the source disappears, the copy stays. If the owner asks, it goes.
Settled
WYSYCU hosts copies of unforgettable things found on other sites — a 1998 children's TV bumper, a forum thread from 2007, a hold-music track that exists nowhere else. Each one is stored here so it still loads after the original goes down, and each one names the site it came from, with a link back.
Copies, not links.
Every item is stored on WYSYCU's own servers — video, image, post or whole page — so it still plays after the original is deleted.
Other sites.
Items are found by hand across the web, then checked. The original site is named on every entry, with a link back to it.
Unsee Level, 1 to 5.
How hard the thing is to get out of your head. 1 is mildly sticky. 5 means it followed us home. It's a warning, not a review.
01 — Hosted items (preview)
Every row is an item stored here. The ones marked hosted are copied, credited and ready; the rest are still being checked.
02 — The build
Each item is checked by hand before it goes up: does the file actually play, does the description match what's in it, and is the source site named correctly. That takes time, so the archive is opening slowly and in public.
Items are checked twice before they're marked hosted. Nine are currently in review — copies uploaded, credits written, waiting on a second pair of eyes.
Each entry names the site it was taken from, next to its status. You can always see where an item came from and whether it's ready.
Copies stored on our own servers and credited to their originals. Nine dead sources kept — the copy is now the only thing left of them.
Rule three is still arguing with itself. It'll be ratified at launch, not before.
Enough room for the first thousand copies. This is the whole origin story for now.
Noted
A site that only links is a promise to lose things. This one keeps the copy.— The archivist, rev. 04
03 — House rules (draft)
They'll be ratified at launch. Until then, they're what every item is measured against.
Every entry is a copy kept on WYSYCU's own servers, with the original site named and linked beside it. If the source disappears, the copy stays. If the owner asks, it goes.
Settled
Every item carries an Unsee Level from 1 to 5: how hard it is to shake. Five means it followed us home. The number is a warning, not a review — we don't tell you what to like.
Settled
Strange is fine. Cruel isn't. Anything that harasses someone, exposes private material or is simply gore stays out, and takedown requests are honoured within the hour.
Under discussion
04 — The dispatch
No thumbnails. No autoplay. No warning label that gives the whole thing away. Until launch you'll get occasional build notes — then one hosted item every Friday, credited to its source.
