Does anyone want to have a local copy of this thread? I could compress all pages into a downloadable file, so you can search the raw HTML for old posts.
That's quite an offer. Somebody could theoretically use it to find out which members had a history of using the words "bullish" or "buy" right before BTC made a definitive move upward, or "bearish" for the opposite. Would be pretty noisy but possibly still insightful as to finding out who tended to be correct in their calls over time. I don't have enough time to put that kind of analysis together but maybe somebody else does.
I'll keep this thought, a graph showing the "density" of certain words over time could work

We also need to know :
-how many lines of text JJG has posted
-which word has been posted the most : moon, hodl , fuck, weeee... ?
-who has posted the most haikus
I like where this is going

I wasn't planning on extracting individual posts, but it looks like I may just have to do that

How big would that be? Put it in the BSV blockchain, they have gigabyte blocks.
The page you posted on is 204 kB. I guess the entire topic will be around half a gigabyte compressed.
