Q started posting on 4-chan as Q clearance patriot. Moved to 8 Chan and later to 8 kun, which could also be reached through Tor.

Back in the day, there were a lot of places where the happenings pre-Q could be discussed.

On reddit until the several boards there were axed, on Abovetopsecret, and smaller discussion boards like voat. Of course there were the several blogs, where people shared and their views, and also on news aggregate sites like Zerohedge.

The issue is people were discussing prepping, politics, technical solutions in general, cooking etc all the time everywhere.

With the advent of the instituted push to combat fake-news .... the need for a place to share in particular the events surrounding Trump became obvious.

Voat was axed a couple of years back on Christmas eve. The board owner moved here. Some went to GAW, others also to poal and some other places.

The times we spent on VOAT, especially on the board: Greatawakening and QRV were well spent. There is a lot of information there. And I recommend to everyone doing their research to go there and pick up the data retained on searchvoat.co.

This site is not very well suited for research. You could do it, but it is rather awkward. The best method, I have found, is to learn howto use a searchengine. Under the label: site you can specify greatawakening.win, the time-frame, the search words with or without quotation marks, and the time-frame. Even the user-name can be used.

I'll check where I have the total Q posts downloads in a zipfile, including all links (a lot of dead ones due to twitter shit) and all pictures. I will upload it somewhere and make it available for download. Safe it off-line. It is a way of restoring some of the functionality of qagg.news, which was the most comprehensive site.

Current main place to lookup Q-posts: https://qalerts.pub/research/

Here is the raw text: https://www.q-clock.com/q_raw.txt

depending on the type of reader you use, you could use CTRL+F or use an awk/gawk script. But you would miss the pics & videos.

You could use: https://archive.org/details/Q-Anon/page/n35/mode/2up But that is just a pdf.

Of course there is the qagg.news archive.org link you could use. https://archive.li/https://qagg.news/

https://qresear.ch/q-posts is also very nice, especially given the research per post being easily available.

Another nice research tool: https://social-comp.github.io/ConspiracyTraces/

The gist of Q-posts in terms of language used. It is a json format file readable with wordpad if you are still being screwed by Windows.
