Fans of long-standing series often find themselves confused about just what happened when and where, and as a result may go back and watch or read through a large section of the series - or even the whole run - in order to refresh their memories or bolster some particular fan theories they hold. This is especially common in Web Comics fandoms, where easy access to the whole series archive makes it all too tempting to drop what you are doing and look for that particular scene you just know happened in a certain Story Arc... Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Somewhat ameliorated by series guides and fan concordances, and in some cases search engines indexing the scripts for the whole series (!), but still a very common form of time sink for hard-core fans. In the tradition of the little remarks from the editor in print comics referencing the issue numbers of past events, some nice creators will provide links to the archives for the relevant plotlines on the main page the day the events are referenced. Of course, this doesn't help when the archive system doesn't keep the links with the comic, and someone else catches up later. The other solution is the community forums, where after the unavoidable insults from idiots, some angel will actually post the link and explanation you wanted. |

Pete Abrams of Sluggy Freelance adds links to relevant past strips and plotlines upon uploading any comic that needs them. Thankfully, the site's designed so that the links stay with the strips. | |

The online archives of The Daily Show used to have a very neat search-by-date feature. Now that it's gone, finding a clip in the (badly tagged) archive is not at all easy. Five or six clips per show, four shows a week... for ten years. They fixed the search, and clip tagging is improving. Unfortunately, as this makes Archive Trawls easier, it also makes Archive Binges more tempting. The Colbert Report is the same way. |

General Protection Fault started links to past strips some time during Year 13, with only a sporadic reference in earlier strips (e.g. one reference) | |
