Would there be a good way to archive the entire Oppositelock blog? I was part of a phpBB based forum that went belly up several years ago and someone managed to archive the whole thing. Anybody know of the possibilities? I do know that every time a forum changes venues, it takes a huge membership hit. An archive would be nice to preserve our institutional memory.

Does not require authentication or passwords. Scrapes the entire site into text. Note: text.

I don’t know if mods have access. one of the admins would have to do a database dump, probably, and be willing to share. I hope that happens, or something better comes along than my suggestion

Well that’s something, although sadly not very accessible to the average user. It seems.

Me too. I wonder if there is anyone in the Kinja development group that would help. Probably not.

Yeah. I’m going to see if I can set up a website to automate it this evening possibly. Depends how fucked my day goes. (Already pretty fucked, obviously.)

That would be great. I would happily offer my help, but I am little more than a power user (and the power part is debatable these days, as I haven’t kept up with technologies), so I’ll wish you luck instead.

If you’re still trying to set something up, look at mine instead, I forked that and have extended it significantly.
