I do not know about that. However, for the experiment I did, Ninjastic only displayed my unedited posts. Maybe ninjastic doesn't record edited posts or maybe ninjastic takes longer for edited posts to be recorded.
It is, but only after 5 minutes. So if you edited your posts so many times at least 4x before that time
(5 minutes), then probably the last thing it will record is the post content after 5 minutes.
- Check the unedited/archived posts along with their edited version made up to 5 minutes later.
Exactly. Basically, the site only does two scrapes: one when the post is made, and another 5 minutes later.
Everything that is done between 1 second and 5 minutes is not recorded, only what exists in minute 5. Any edits made after minute 5 will not be recorded.
I think there are cases where OPs would make sense to do more scraping, even if it was through solition. But, I understand why this is not the case.
That's right. Bitcointalk has so many posts that scraping all of them continuously is not feasible and you're right - With millions of new posts popping up all the time, it's impossible to keep track of every single edit made on every single post. Essentially, any edits made between scrape A and scrape B would be missed. And anything edited after the most recent scrape would be missed too.
