Welp it’s happened, the web archive link for the entire Dimensions Magazine library is gone. Is there another source floating around online?

https://web.archive.org/web/20150124111715/http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/Weight_Room/stories.html

Maybe I can help out a little. Managed a couple iterations of a sloppy wget of the Weight Room a while back.

Offered as-is. It's kinda sloppy, but you get whatchu pay for.

Shame the archive disappeared, there's definitely some stuff I'm missing.

could you reup?

Should last a bit longer as a WT link.

If anybody else has their own saved bits of the archive, I'd be really glad to see them shared.

Amazing thank you.

Can re upload a download link

Can you re-upload the link

If anyone could re-up the archive download, that'd be amazing.

There needs to be a bigger archive somewhere of all the stories that were there. THE best story I ever read was on there, by Coop called Tank Ass.

>>6490

You got the wrong person.It's ZXc098

https://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/threads/tank-ass-bbw-xwg-fa-dom.94178/

would it be possible to reupload a link? as far as I can tell, many of these stories are completely wiped off the face of the Internet

Looks like the rest of the forum's stories outside of the archive have also been put behind a paywall and the removal of the archive also applies to the forum posts too.

>>6503
If anybody could dig up and link Tank Ass, I'd be grateful! The one post that remains public on the forums is enough to make me desperate to see the rest

>>6976

I don't think it was posted anywhere else. At least as far as I know.

I copied the story into a pdf file a while ago and still have it (Tank ass).

https://we.tl/t-EuyPuXKEgS

Please re-up the stories archive?

Anyone got the archive?

Does anyone have the archive? I cant find it

Bump for a backup if possible. Thank you

Kind sirs, could you upload another link, please? None of these work as of today.
I naïvely believed that archive.org would keep everything without interference forever.
When my favorite link went down a few months ago, I was despondent beyond words. That sloppy wget would mean the world to me.

Just gonna keep checking in here

>>7447
You and me both, bro.

Bump

Please help

Someone here's got this archive, please help

Good news everyone!
I have found a site that archived all the stories before those asinine morons at Dimensions deleted all of their content off the way back.

>>7580
Holy shit thank you so much
Any chance the anonymous ones are anywhere?

>>7580
Today is my lucky day

based and redpilled

Does anyone have the story "A Kitchen Wench" by Jimbob? Been looking for it based on this picture

(Cred Ssakurai)

>>7580
This means so much to me.
Thank you very much, Anon.

Anyone by chance happen to have More 2 Love More 2 Gain part 3? I was able to get parts one and two. It's by Big Chris.

>>7584
It’s a suppository.
>>7582
Have not found them yet but I’ll still keep looking

Can anyone access the stories on Dimensions forum? Specifically this one? https://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/threads/the-craving-from-beyond-the-stars-by-marlow.132459/

>>7611
Yes - you can't?

>>7612
It says I have to pay to view replies – the story isn't just the first post.

>>7615

You shouldn't have to...The only thing you may need to do is register an account then opt in for the extra stories. It's free.

>>7628
>>7615

No. Anon seems to be right. I notice the change last month and deleted my account
shortly after. After remaking it it seems the only way to access any threads beyond the first post requires a subscription payment. Unless I'm missing, the threads are behind a pay wall.

Imagine paying a subscription to access 10+ year old stories that used to be free, and they blocked it from archive.org. What asshats

It really is kind of a stunning reflection of how far the online community of this fetish has progressed, isn't it?

Back in the day, Dimensions was one of the only games in town. I had so many formative experiences as a teenager checking them out, reading the stories in the Weight Room, checking out the message boards. They also had a link to Wilson Barber's web page, where HIS stories were, and I read those as well.

But we've grown and advanced. BBWchan itself is evidence of that. These days if you like fat girls there's an overwhelming amount of content out there spread around tons of websites. Whoever runs Dimensions these days is living in the past and the world has moved on from them. It's kind of bittersweet, given how important they were to me when I was new to this fetish.

Anyone have More 2 Love More 2 Gain Parts 2 and 3 by Big Chris? This one was always my favorite

>>7703
Dims was dear to me as well, and the devolution of the site is a tragedy. The print version was the first place I saw the term "FA" and knew what to call myself. Also the first time I saw feedism discussed, having had that fetish for 20 years already. Reading Barbers and Delacroix were a revelation because their stuff was actually well written. I'd seen a few WG/fat fics before in porn magazines but it was always poorly done and you could tell the writer wasn't actually into it. I'd been writing fatfic and WG stories myself since I was in elementary school, mostly because it was what I wanted to read and there was nothing out there.

The site was the first place I got to interact with other FAs and women who "got it," and now having hundreds (then thousands) of stories to compare and inspire me was fantastic. Like any genre, most of it was drek but half the fun was finding the diamonds.

>>7775

Also requesting this. Seems the 2nd parts are lost to time...

Does anyone have any of Jake (JMJ) or Marlow's old stories archived? Specifically looking for Lady Luck and the original version of The Return. Much appreciated.

>>7788

Marlow is archived on DA:

Someone needs to continue the story, finally pass the baton. God knows I'm not writing any more of it.

>>7892
Reup ?

>>7892
Pls reup

Just want to say how thankful I am to whoever manages that wiki and the corresponding archive. Even the so-called "sloppy wget" was an act of true heroism.

A few months ago when I saw the Weight Room get scrubbed off the Wayback Machine I did some research into how a website could lose its internet archive. Outside of things overtly criminal, the manager of the web domain is the only one who can issue a request that their website be exempt from the archive.org crawler. For posterity's sake, literally, I can't fathom why this is even an option, given the ephemeral state of the internet, but them's the legal breaks.

But knowing that the domain name holder is responsible for its removal makes me seethe. It was a true betrayal. I'd never thought to look here, so thanks again.You're the best.

Anybody happen to have Sarah's big change saved anywhere?

>>7892
Can someone just attach a txt or png of the story to their post? I will finish the story, which I am dying to read, as a reward.
