Year Seven: The Archive Players began archiving. Favorites lists turned into curated collections with annotations—why a game mattered, what tricks were significant, which levels were romanticized for their glitches. Enthusiasts documented the evolution of specific titles: the original HTML5 builds, later patched versions, forks that prospered in shadow. The archive was both instruction and elegy: notes on lost features, preserved leaderboards, and interviews with creators who’d moved on. The site was no longer only a place of escape; it was an informal museum of small, free pleasures.
