Okay so someone was complaining about you guys not archiving, namely the newish users. I don't follow this thread, but in the last page or so I do see a lot more archiving of tweets than I usually see; however, nonetheless, archiving is always a good habit. I figure that the main reason is that its newer users who dont understand what we expect in terms of content preservation and also how to go about it, so I decided to draft a post to help you out.
It is really simple to archive, just follow these simple steps.
One method is to use the archive.is website. To do this, you just simply follow these steps.
Copy the link to the content you want to archive.
Go to
https://archive.fo/.
You will see a bar which says "My url is alive and I want to archive its content." Paste the link in the bar and hit enter.
The website will archive the content. This may take a few seconds. There may be some text on the screen detailing what is happening, just wait. You will then be taken to the archive. Copy the link.
Take a cap of the content and post it along with the link.

Alternatively, there are browser add-ons which can make this process much simpler. With the add-on, you can forget about the copying and pasting of links, the add-on will archive with the click of a button.
Here is a link to the one for Chrome.
