I've thought about scraping, but the information gotten will be very limited
That's just the way it is. It's limited, but not restrictive: anyone is allowed to scrape the forum, as long as you don't do more than 1 request per second (burst allowed).
I made a thread and I actually forgot about it because I've been preoccupied with other things
You can setup email notifications on the forum, or
use the watchlist to keep track.
