You can also copy and paste directly into word or openoffice writer, including all images and formatted text.

A couple of us have run autoarchiving programs to save as much as we can. Mine has a lot of rickrolls in it, but seems to be largely complete, with the exception of tech support and off-topic.

You can go to print view and copy an entire page with images and ( hopefully ) links intact.

Not sure many have the same situation as the climate change crew but some of you might have some personal opuses ( opii? ) to retrieve.

Climate

I am currently underway to backup all publicly accessible content. (Have approx 40% at the moment). I will offer a free service to any poster to retrieve a collection of all the threads he has posted in. Internal links will still work.

ETA: Full backup should be complete by Thursday. Fixing of internal links and creation of index (to retrieve threads by posters) should be complete by Sunday.

Rickrolls?

How big is your package (compressed / uncompressed)? What software did you use for downloading?

I used WInHTTrack. Uncompressed, smaller than I expected. It was suggested to me, so I went with it. I was just investgating other means.

Hack I've just finished mirroring the video; shall I post a video response on one of the vids on rd.net channel?

Good idea.

Anybody recommend a good archiving program? The one I used is shite, and I want to get as much of it as I can before any other prolific users get deleted. I have a fair bit, but it's full of crap as well.

What's the problem? Most generic programs will have some problems because of the non-canonical urls used in phpbb.

I wrote my own program to download the contents from rd.net,specifically made for the forum software

Status: I got 50% now

I will share the data when it is done and after I have fixed the internal links (which will require a separate program which I will code on Saturday)

Cool. I am running another now anyway, and it seems to be working better.
