So uh. That Bonemonkey+Bacon gif has been deleted by Tinypic. Does anyone have a copy of it? I was planning on making one of these posts yearly until I die, but I guess it'll be missing the gif otherwise. I should have backed it up.

Sadly, no backup of this thread (or the host site complete with the image) exists on Wayback Machine, and judging by this result on Google images, BoneMonkey was a 'Temper, so I'm guessing the GIF you uploaded was original. If you don't have it on your PC anymore, it's probably gone.
For the future, I'd recommend not using TinyPic, and instead opting for another host, like Imgur, or uploading the image straight to here.
 
Ohnoes :ohnoes:

I don't have a copy :(

And I checked and a few of my emoticons got deleted as well. I'm not sure I have any copies. So long :wagglecreep: smiley, you've waggled your last :(

Never forget :cry:

Edit
That said archive.org appears to have a large brute force grab of many things
https://archive.org/details/tinypic.com_images_201909_b

k2lo8x.gif is the name and it was on the i30 subdomain.
Did find a link to the page on archive.org but no image on it ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180904010738im_/http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=k2lo8x&s=3 ).

I don't have a complete index right now (there are a few hundred, each several megs a piece.

edit 2 because why not

RIP, looks like a lot of GBAtemp history got wiped by Tinypic. That service was super popular here in the mid to late 2000s. Not just Bonemonkey gifs, but other images as well. Thanks for the sleuthing guys!

Tinypic has shut down. We've learned that online hosting services are not reliable over long periods of time. Who knows, in another 15 years Imgur could be dead too. :nayps3:

Thought that my mexican't google would bring different results, but no.
And trying Reddit just brought a porn group related to bones.
Deviantart brought back a super old post of a digital illustration of a monkey.

Not sure why this picture is worth a necrobump, but I just tried my 2 cents here.
Actually... Google did brought back an old thread with a user called BoneMonkey and his thread with, apparently, forgotten GBATemp users.
Kinda surprised to see an old "Former Staff" member that's level one, joined a long time ago, and last seen in May 2018.
