Re: Storing the bitcointalk forum on a decentralized file system

only thing i see on Loyce.club is various links to statistics about the forum but not the actual forum.
My posts archive is just that: an archive. I have no intention to make a working forum, that's not the point of archiving posts.Quote
people who are members on this forum, loyce is going to have so much data on them that he can pin down exactly where they live at some point!
if you thought bitcoin wasn't anonymous then thank's to loyce's various statistics he can tell you anything about anyone. scary world we live in!
I love the BS accusations! I couldn't care less about where you live, and only archive public data. If you post your location, someone can indeed now. My site loyce.club doesn't block Tor users, so by all means, if you visit it, use Tor. if you thought bitcoin wasn't anonymous then thank's to loyce's various statistics he can tell you anything about anyone. scary world we live in!
You can bet there are others archiving every post on Bitcointalk too, without publicly sharing the data. There's no point to worry about it: anything you post on the internet should be considered public knowledge forever. If you don't want that, don't post it!
I might be nit-picking here, but I think TryNinja's site is more accessible than LoyceV's site. Obviously loyce.club is essentially an HTML warehouse with historical information, so it is not really a fair comparison.
TryNinja is much better at presenting the data than I am. All I did was create a static archive, and it's been online for 5 years. I gave TryNinja a copy of my archived old posts, so you can search them there.Quote
I would *love* to make a search engine for the forum though. It has always been one of my pet peeves and I think it would be much more useful than what is essentially a decentralized backup of the forum, given that Google and the built-in search are terrible at finding posts in large topics.
You mean like Ninjastic Search? If you want to build another search engine, I'd be more than happy to get you a downloadable archive with 50-ish million posts (in separate files)
