I was looking on here for it as i just built a new PC a couple hours ago (and currently typing on it) and I wanted a nice vintage wallpaper for my new rig. There were some super cool ones in there that i didnt get to save, I'm not sure if it's around or not but I can't find it anymore. I found a wiki page that links to it that returns with "this thread can not be found", sucks if it's actually deleted.

Last time I saw it, it was repeated mislicensing and non-wallpaper imagedumps unrelated to hardware

thank you very much! still can't believe it was deleted. Some of those wallpapers were HARD and I never saw them outside the thread.

I second - a topic like that should never be deleted. It serves as an archive and trust me, you can't easily find vintage wallpapers anywhere else.

If there are any people who have downloaded these archives from the xozm's post, could you please upload them here?

Stickies probably shoved it aside to make room.

The last I remember it was removed due to complaints about posting copyrighted images. I personally have no way of knowing how to determine a copyright image so my proposal to other mods was to state that posted images were "fair use" at the beginning of the thread . Obviously infringement would then be handled as per usual. The other issue is some individual who like to post pictures for anything and everything polluting the thread and having to clean up after that person, if the thread is brought back it will likely be a permanent ban for that "person".

Yeah i remember the user, it saddens me a bit, i ended up creating some pretty cool wallpaper for my builds and i usually shared them there.
