random yap about the struggles of finding CB pics

 howdy!!

i was a bit bored today, and i was thinking about writing a new blog entry, but too bad, bc i dont have any ideas at the moment, so im just gonna yap about the process of how i find new pics of our pretty german boyz OwO

so its a bit hard to find any places that have CB pics, cuz their official website and myspace pages are not working in 2025 and they can only be accessed though the wayback machine, but while most of the time it loads everything, almost all of the pictures dont load;

for example, i wanted to find some new pics of Shin today, so i though: "oh, i still havent checked to see if his pics on his old myspace are up!", but just as i though, the page loads, i click on one of the 10 pics that are on his photos tab, but i only get to see comments like "wow, you look so cute here! :3", but not the actual picture, cuz its not loading, i think due to the pic not being supported on modern day tech anymore 3:

okay, okay, i got VERY off track, so ill now tell you the process of me finding CB pics!:

so first, i go on google, and type something like "cinema bizarre forum (and then some random country, for example italy this time)", and see if i get any results;

NOTE: sometimes you have to log in or to make an account to access some parts of the forum, but even after creating an account on it, a moderator has to verify you and let you gain access to the whole forum (which is impossible considering all of those forums are dead)

 as i said, most of the forums are defunct now, meaning that they are not moderated and almost all of the time some things on the forums do not load, including the pictures; so with this in mind, try to find the section in the forum which has the pictures of the bandmembers. most of the pictures dont even load, so i have to scroll though like 10 pages of forum discussions that look like these, so i could find just one working picture:

another way to find CB pictures is to go on old personal blogs, but finding them is also hard, so i mostly stick to the first way to find the pictures.

after finding the working photos i always upload them to pinterest so other people can see and use them, because otherwise new fans or just anyone wouldnt have as many CB pictures.

i also sometimes archive the pages i find the pics on, so if pinterest removes them, you can still access everything though the wayback machine.

also, my pinterest is BulkerCB, or you can just click this link to find it.

that's it, byeee!! >_<
