All the data is kept on the partition, where I also keep my porn (because this is my biggest partition). So, you can be certain, the data is safe
Here is an automatically generated list of the threads I have: http://www.neunbeere.de/rd.net/Threads.html (5.5 MB)
Here is an automatically generated list of the users I know: http://www.neunbeere.de/rd.net/Users.html (1.5 MB)
The links to User pages already work(soon, are now being uploaded), so you can see what threads every user has participated in, but the actual threads are not there yet.
Here is what I will do next:
1. Adapt the actual forum files to fix internal links and remove content that is not needed. The code for that already exists, now it just needs to process all data. This might take up to a day or a bit more.
2. Then package everything together and give to anyone who wants it.
I will offer all data together as one big download archive. I estimate, this will be at 400-600 MB.
The unpacked version will be at approx. 4 to 6 GB. I don't have a server with enough space or bandwidth to host the unpacked version. But whoever has the capacities can take my archive, unpack it and host it on his server. This way, people could browse the forum to read threads and also link to threads. Also, this way, google could then index the content and one could use Google Search to search the site.
Awesome NineBerry! Creating torrents is really easy, your torrent program should do it for you.. it creates the torrent file which you then upload to piratebay or whatever.
Thanks for doing this
