Are these [attachment=33192] items accessible anywhere?

[2SleepBetta]

This may be old news to many and, if so, I'd appreciate it if one or more would respond with a pointer. Others might find this post useful. 

My goal: I went to searching and hoped there was an online archive holding those attachments—at least partly ID'd as in Subject—which had been removed from posts to save storage.  

Before trying to use a removed image's ID as part of the Google search terms, I experimented. The search: "storage OR numbered OR graphic OR chart OR graph "attachment" site:apneaboard.com - Google Search . I was presented with AB images which filled my screen and more was there to scroll down through—and there was an option to get even more images. 

That search presented a huge botanical garden of AB images (attachments), but, apparently, only those which are still helping readers within the original post. It was interesting to look at many of them, even to see some of my own attachments there. Better yet, if I clicked on one, a scrollable sidebar opened with an enlargement. Then, if I clicked on the enlargement, I was taken to the ApneaBoard post which still had that attachment. There are captions below most or all images to help.

Upshots: 

I have to try working into searches the Subject ID for the attachment I'd like to resurrect if there is no accessible archive. But that's a fool's errand if the image has been deleted.

Some might simply want to look through SDB images to find interesting or relevant posts. It could be images are presented in some kind of date or alpha order. Otherwise, the images can be used as a kind of (jumbled?) topical index to AB posts, another way to find posts of interest that are off the beaten path.

Thank you for this valuable piece of info. 
Abut the dissapearadr attachments. I read that all the pages are archived somewhere, so no items have disappeared on the internet. HAve you thought about that option?

[2SleepBetta]

Thanks for the apt reply.

GS: "I read that all the pages are archived somewhere, so no items have disappeared on the internet."

I assumed as much. They may be there to be found if I search properly.

GS: "Have you thought about that option?"

Yes, hence my Google search. After a cursory check, I suspect Google is simply presenting what images are still available and active within AB's storage. Once an image is deleted from that storage, the mere [attachment ...] becomes a grave marker in the post to explain there was an attachment to be viewed, but it has been removed...to preserve storage.

If Google has access to AB storage, or to images stored/archived by other image processing sites, then it reinforces need for advisors to caution, as they do,  members who show their name on their OSCAR graphics they post.

There is the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/), too.

Red,

Thanks for the tip. Never before had I need for or felt inclined to find out what the Wayback machine, but was (insufficiently) curious about it.

Please, I request a bit more guidance.

I went there to look for the attachment in my Subject. After entering the AB URL the machine presented a bar graphic illustrating year by year capture quantities. Upon clicking the year 2021 I got notice there was (if I remember it) 350 captures from some earlier year to September, 2024.

 I didn't understand what to do next. It struck me (mistakenly?) that each capture is cumulative and that one cannot see the next capture after the attachment date, only the most recent capture, which of course would not have my Subject's graphic. But that is counter intuitive for such a machine.  What am I missing that I should note and do?
