Hello! I had linked a pic from here on a Discord server, but the pic just 404'd. I still have the link though... is it possible to find the pic with it, or does that mean it was removed from the site completely?? TnT

Edit: found it! It was deleted by artist request (had to go through all my history of 1 month ago LOL)

That means the pic has been removed. Maybe it would be possible to find the original post to see why it was deleted, though I don't know if it's possible to find the post ID from a deleted image url. Perhaps a better version was uploaded, which you could find from the original post, or perhaps it was subject to a takedown, in which case the post may have a still working source.

You can look up a file by its MD5 hash. Just take the filename without the extension, and search for that value with an md5: prefix.

For example, you can find this particular image by searching for md5:506cc78804e88e96534d496291ed7ee4 status:any.

I know you already found it, but if there's ever a next time

Search: md5:506cc78804e88e96534d496291ed7ee4 status:any

Thanks for the md5 tip! It's definitely way easier than going through all history xD
