=Forum Backups=

The tennis community has had many forum sites they have called home over the years. Going through these forum archives is very useful when exploring tennis history or researching various topics.

==YouChew==

A good chunk of [[YouChew]] exists on archive.org. Local complete archives of the website exist, including a [https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/ browsable version] on {{YellowTealPurple}}. A previous iteration was hosted on ftlftw.net which was shut down in December 2025.

The second, short-lived revival of YouChew (aka "NewChew") was ''not'' completely archived. What remains of it is present on archive.org.

==YTPMania==

[[YTPMania]] still stands to this day in read-only form.

==Pinchbacks==

Both the short-lived forum and discord server for [[Pinchbacks]] were not archived. Most notably this means the loss of much of the forum activity for the [[Doubles Cup 4]], however not much else was done there tennis-wise.

==YellowTealPurple==

[[YellowTealPurple]] is the current home for video tennis discussion. Archives are not needed at this time, but proactive webmasters very likely will have backups available if the site goes down.
