In the weeks before wotmania shut, when it was increasingly obviously that Mike wasn't going to facilitate a handover by giving me the posts in a nice database parsable format, Camilla, Tor and I worked to download the messageboards by loading every page, one at a time, and saving the HTML.
This means that while we've got the content of all the messageboards, I need to scrape the HTML, re-link together the reply-tree structure, and build a front end, etc, in order to be able to display the posts. All of which is surprisingly time intensive!

It's all my fault...

I should be able to chip in a few quid in around a month if all goes to plan.

A flaming pile of dogshit placed upon one's doorstep does not constitute a prize. *NM*
