Hey Richard,

First of all, thanks for all your hard work over all these years. I've learned a lot on this forum and made some good friends here :)

As many people seem interested in saving the conversations, wouldn't it be feasible to post a raw dump of the database on Github? It's free and the people who would know what to do with it are probably comfortable with that site.

I've made a crawler to save every post and export it in json, but I'm afraid of using it and bringing the server down with so many requests per minute over the course of a few days. :x[/QUOTE]

hey - if you want to give the crawler a go, that would be fine by me. i will be doing a similar sort of thing. if you can limit the requests, that would be helpful.

Not only am I grateful to Richard for providing the forum for so long (i'm fairly sure the current DB is only th elatest one, I think there was a crash before that), but what really marks him out as a decent guy is providing notice ofclosure, and engaging with attempts to archive the good stuff.

I will always remember the vibrant times.

Good luck to all.

Double post
