So long, and thanks for all the posts

I am curious to know forum size as well.
Sanctaphrax:
I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I finished downloading.
The bad news is that it wasn't because the archive was complete. It was because

The good news is that the archive is still quite usable.
The bad news is that many of the longer threads have their later pages missing.
The good news is that if you click the Print button on an archived thread, you should be able to see the whole thing even if much of it is theoretically "missing".
The bad news is that the parts of the forum that you can only view while logged in are missing.
The good news is that those parts are small enough that saving them manually, with the print button and control-S, is actually viable. At least in theory.
The mixed news is that Google Drive says it'll take 2 hours to upload the half-complete archive I've got. It's about two gigabytes, which Google claims should be no problem. I'm not confident it'll actually work, though.
Anyway, I'm going to sleep. If possible, I'll post the archive tomorrow.

Well, that is disappointing. But, you gave it a good go. I guess that what trial and error is all about. Trying different methods until one works. 2gb of data for a partial?
Sanctaphrax:
Yep.
Anyway, the archive's here. Upload didn't work perfectly but the vast majority of the files went up successfully so it ought to be usable.
The document you want to click on is "index.html". Opening it with a web browser will take you to a page that looks very much like the actual forum, which you can navigate as though it were the actual forum.
Sanctaphrax:
Huh.
When I click on that link normally, it leads me to the folder.
When I click on that link incognito, it leads me to a version of the folder that's inexplicably missing a ton of stuff.
Can someone click on it and tell me whether they see a file named blackblue.gif and a file named cookies.txt?
