    • I can't find any posts or comments from that user.
      Weird.      palimpsest
    • Err, nope. Don't remember this dude.Continuity

    • Remember this username, yesOBBTKN
    • Were all his posts deleted? There is nothing on the db, not even comments.palimpsest
    • Probably no posts after 2010drgs
    • I'm looking at the whole thing starting 2002. I'll be sharing the db eventually, looking at where to host it right now. It's too big for Observable.palimpsest
    • Have you downloaded all posts, jesusdrgs

    • Depends how you want to access it, but we can stick it into haasie, either the SQL DB or file storage.skinny_puppy
    • I would to have some notebook service associated with it. I don't think many people would be using it though. I would like something very user friendly.palimpsest
    • At worst I would just a read only user to the db and have everyone access it through phpMyAdmin. The db is already hosted on my site.palimpsest
    • Cool. I've been keen to build a search engine for QBN for a while, would be great to use that as a base. Are you continuously scraping?skinny_puppy
    • Yes, I scrape every 15 minutes. You can access all of 2003 on Observable. I made a quick search tool there too. 2002-2022 is on SQL, replies only.palimpsest
    • I'll post the raw file so you can use it for your search engine. Then you call pull the updates on your own. Day to day scraping still runs on Google Sheets.palimpsest
    • Awesome, thanks!skinny_puppy
    • Glad to know there is a backupdrgs
    • @drgs
      It has been pointed out to me that you were probably thinking of vena for whom there are entries.      palimpsest
    • It is of course vena. My mistake. Just out of curiosity, when was his last post?drgs
    • He could be one of the authors of QBN's back-end scripting, or maybe notdrgs
