Anyone have any knowledge about archiving a forum?
I’m a member of a forum that’s being shut down. It’ll be locked on the 28th in three days, and it’ll be deleted on October 31st from what I’ve seen.
It’s a massive forum, with just the General Discussion sub forum having about 136k threads, so it would be a huge project.
I did some googling and found a site called the Wayback Machine, but I have little idea on how it works, and no idea the logistics of archiving such a big forum.
Like would someone be able to write a macro to automate it, where would all of the data be stored, wether it’s even possible or worth doing.
Basically I’m looking for advice/info from people more experienced at this sort of thing.
TIA.
Edit: also looking for advice on creating forums.
