Archiving this forum

[Project Alice]

I would like to archive the entire mac rumors forum. Don't ask why, I just want to have all of the information on here. I am trying to use SiteSucker to do so.

Has anyone ever done that on here before or any other forum? The log is showing quite a few 403 and 404 errors.

Even PRSI? Why would you willfully infect your machine like that?

If they have, I don't think they asked for help on doing it.

Don't ask why

I'm still going to ask though…

Why?

Ya, this isn’t the sort of thing we really like people doing. That said, I realize I can’t do much to stop someone from doing it for non commercial uses. If you must, try to avoid hitting the servers that quickly else your ip could be banned.

PRSI?

PRSI = Politics, Religion, Social Issues
It's often a very busy part of the forums - and, just my opinion, for no discernible reason

No need to do that, since it's already been done:

It's pretty cool to go back and see how the site's layout has changed over the years. Also, I never knew @Doctor Q used to write for MR.

Nah, not a newbie. Click on the avatar for @AngerDanger and check out his eyes. Now you'll see why he missed it!
