Agree with PowerGlove. It would be superior to allow people to access posts (and other forum data) via an api endpoint. This would probably actually reduce the number of page views because a “scrapper” could gather posts in batches rather than in real time.

Allowing scrappers has already made all forum posts and other data freely searchable, so unless this will change, I see no reason to it implement an api for people like loyce. It would probably make sense to charge for said access
