Forum:
on june 16th, 2025, soompi forums officially closed. millions of posts, photos, videos, links centered in one space, gone. if you attempt to visit the link now, you'll instead be met with the home page of soompi news.
you could probably find some pages on the wayback machine, though not all (i've already tried to check for the kat-tun and akanishi forums, to no avail).
i've tried to save some kat-tun-related photos, but many of them were already deprecated due to photo uploading sites (photobucket..............) being updated and moved and all that (and the main forum was already missing 200 pages due to server moves??? wild). but i've gotten what i could.
here's one i was able to save, isn't it cute? (when it loads... may be a few days) -> 
do any of you have experiences or memories with soompi forums? if so, what did you use it for? looking for certain celebrities, talking about dramas...
in the aftermath of this event, i've removed the link from our list of resources (though it's still up as an anecdote of sorts). however, where a lot of content came from were blogs and livejournal sites. a lot of photos also had urls of personal sites on them, which could be searched for in the wayback machine. if those are still up or accessible in some way, then it is likely a lot of this content is still around. it'll just take more time.
have a good day! happy surfing.
