/u/confusedqueeer in /r/GWAScriptGuild has confirmed that Textbin deletes pornographic pastes, so Pastebin Apocalypse 2: Electric Boogaloo - Textbin Edition is upon us:
https://old.reddit.com/r/GWAScriptGuild/comments/knaw9v/notice_to_anyone_hosting_scripts_on_textbin/
If you have posted a script on Textbin before, please move it to one (or preferably multiple) of the stable platforms that allow NSFW text.
I now post to Archive of Our Own, Dreamwidth, Hentai Foundry, Neocities, PsstPastes, and Write.as, and I'll probably start posting to Scriptbin as well, so my scripts are pretty well backed up and it doesn't look too cluttered in my posts either. This is how I format it right now in my script offer threads:
Script:
Archive of Our Own | Dreamwidth | Hentai Foundry | Neocities | PsstPastes | Write.as
Google might have cached any scripts that have been deleted from Textbin. They do that for a lot of pages for a brief amount of time. Go to https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ReplaceThisWithYourURL to check and do it as soon as possible before Google purges that page from their cache. There's also a possibility that someone might have archived it to web.archive.org or archive.today.
Use web archivers like web.archive.org* and keep offline backups as well.
*archive.today, megalodon.jp, and archive.st also exist, but are not guaranteed to continue running like archive.org is, which has stable funding, so at least back it up to web.archive.org.
A few takeaways on platforms' Terms of Service agreements and erotic scripts:
- If they don't say that NSFW content is banned, but also don't explicitly say that they allow NSFW content, don't be surprised if they end up deleting your script eventually.
- Platforms change their Terms of Service over time, what is allowed today might not be allowed tomorrow. This especially applies to platforms that don't specialize in NSFW content as they're more likely to ban it.
