Kink history disappears faster than people think.
A dungeon closes. A podcast ends. A blog goes quiet. Someone forgets to renew a domain because life moved on, or the project ran its course, or the people behind it were just tired after years of doing community work for free. Then one day the site is gone and the old links point nowhere, or worse, they get replaced by spam.
That loss is small each time it happens, but it adds up.
SubTasks is starting a small community archive project to preserve older kink, D/s, polyamory, and sex-positive sites that would otherwise vanish. Some are old venues. Some are blogs or podcasts. Some are educational resources. The common thread is that they documented real people building real community, and we think that history is worth keeping online.
We’re not trying to impersonate the original creators. We’re not claiming endorsement from people who haven’t given it. When a creator or successor organization is still active, we point people toward them. When a venue is closed, we preserve the available public record as a community resource.
The first sites in the archive are:
- The Aftercare Project, an educational resource on aftercare in D/s and BDSM dynamics.
- BDSM Reimagined, an archive of Indy and Michael's D/s couple podcast.
- Club 1763, preserving the history of Atlanta's long-running BDSM community space.
- Meridian Dallas Dungeon, a preserved record of a private Dallas playspace and kink BnB.
- Polyamory Weekly, an archive of episode notes from one of the original polyamory podcasts. Current updates from the original host belong at polyweekly.com.
- The Wet Spot, preserving the history of Seattle's pre-CSPC sex-positive community space. The active organization is now the Center for Sex Positive Culture.
Some of these sites are rough around the edges because archives are rough around the edges. A perfect rebuild would be impossible and, honestly, a little creepy. The goal isn’t to pretend time stopped. The goal is to keep useful context available, make it clear what’s preserved, and help people find the living communities and creators where they still exist.
SubTasks is a D/s task and dynamic-management app, so yes, there’s a natural connection here. A lot of the people who find these archives are trying to learn how to build more intentional dynamics, keep agreements, remember rituals, and make the day-to-day structure of power exchange easier to sustain. That’s the problem SubTasks was built for.
But the archive project has to earn its place on its own. If a page is only useful as an ad, it doesn’t belong in the archive. If a page helps someone understand a closed community space, find an old episode, build an aftercare plan, or get pointed toward the right active org, then it’s doing its job.
If you’re the original creator of a site we’ve preserved and you want something changed or removed, contact us through subtasksapp.com/contact. Same if you know of an older kink, D/s, polyamory, or sex-positive site that’s at risk of disappearing and should be preserved.
The internet forgets by default. We’d rather save what we can.
