FoL Archive Site
An archive of the Forum of Lies site is available on Netlify. It’s a snapshot from 10/3/2021.

Skipping Pages
Navigating the pages can be cumbersome since there are only “next page” and “previous page” links at the bottom. If you want to more quickly skip ahead to a specific page after the first, you can change the page number in the URL. So after clicking “next page” on the first page of the thread, the URL looks like the following.
https://fol-archive.netlify.app/t/umineko-fm-turn-of-the-golden-witch-game-over-wolves-win/86554!page=2.html
You can then change the page=2 to a later page, like page=33.

Search Engine
There is a custom FoL search engine available through Yandex.
It is a combined search for Forum of Lies, FoL Archive, and Fortress of Lies. You can limit the search with the section filter if necessary.
Redirecting Links
You can use a browser extension to automatically redirect links from the old Forum of Lies site to the FoL Archive. See the post below on how to do this.
If you get a Page Not Found error, you may need to simply remove the message number at the end of the URL.
https://fol-archive.netlify.app/t/umineko-fm-turn-of-the-golden-witch-game-over-wolves-win/86554/3313
In the example above, the URL ends with the message number 3313. This should be removed. However, keep the thread number (86554 in the example above).
Without the automatic redirects, you’ll need to edit any links to the original site to make them work for the archive site. Right-click and copy the URL from the search results. Paste this in a new tab and replace the server part. For example, here’s a URL from the original site.
https://forum.throneoflies.com/t/umineko-fm-turn-of-the-golden-witch-game-over-wolves-win/86554/3313
You would then replace https://forum.throneoflies.com with https://fol-archive.netlify.app in the URL. Again, if it ends with a message number (3313 in the example above), you’ll also need to remove that. However, keep the thread number (86554 in the example above).

Dark Mode
If you’d prefer viewing the archive site in dark mode, you might consider installing a browser extension like Dark Reader.
By default, the extension will work on all sites. If you want to limit it to certain sites only, like only the archive site, then go to the extension settings, go to Site list, then click Invert listed only.
GitHub Repository
The files for the site are stored in a public repository on GitHub.
https://github.com/WhysperKitsune/FoL-Archive
When changes are made to the files on GitHub, they are automatically published to the Netlify site. If you would like to help make improvements to the archive site, please contact @Whysper (Discord Whysper#1313). The most immediate need for the archive site would be improvements in navigating the pages, particularly a way to more quickly jump to a message or page within a thread.
