@Spencer I understand your concern that the culture of SSB may be negatively impacted if an influx of people is brought in by the proposed archive site. Your apprehension is indeed valid. In the recent article I shared %EMCd6pU..., an example is given:

... with the influx of a large number of new netizens, users browsing Tianya began to exhibit a “mixed” knowledge structure and worldview. In the early days of the Chinese Internet, the act of “going online” itself had certain barriers, so users browsing Tianya tended to have a certain degree of homogeneity in terms of knowledge and social strata. In this state, authors could express themselves without hesitation and with high efficiency.
...
However, as a large number of new Internet users poured in, the threshold for the audience was lowered, and the writing cost required for knowledge popularization actually increased. Moreover, many opinionated articles no longer received universal resonance like in the first few years. I remember that around 2008, Tianya and other websites began to see a frequent emergence of “controversial posts,” verbal battles between readers with different views and knowledge structures, which greatly consumed the writing enthusiasm of authors who insisted on niche expressions and were powered by love, causing them to gradually fade from the platform.

Many in SSB value the preservation of high barriers of entry, using them as a means to connect with like-minded individuals. However, compromising the entire user experience of SSB solely to serve as a simple filter, which could likely be achieved through various other methods, is wasteful and may hinder the potential benefits SSB could bring to a broader audience. If you cherish SSB as you would a child, you would want it to grow rather than merely possess it.

Humanity encompasses numerous aspects, with curiosity, exploration, and sharing being equally important.
