If, for whatever reason, you decide you've had enough of this place, please be aware that if you delete your account you also delete every post and comment made, which results in entire threads being unavailable to the rest of us. If you intend on this that's your business but I just wanted you all to be clear on what happens. It will render future references to old posts impossible.
Cheers!
On that note, I truly wish there was some method for ripping and storing all the GAW content offline. Truly an incredible and potentially historical resource, and the fact that an account deletion can wipe it all away is problematic.
Perhaps if the .win encoders could alter the code so that instead of the posts and all comments connected to them being deleted, the username could simply be replaced with a placeholder, like "u/DeletedAccount".
Great idea...
I messaged C about it, hopefully he sees it. Agreed 100%. This site is a vast resource if we can maintain it!
I'm not quite sure why, but it looks like website ripping software doesn't work here. I tried to use winHTTrack on GAW, but no go. Strange, because all the content is publicly visible. One only needs an account in order to vote or post/comment.
someone was able to make this https://unscored.arete.network/ but it doesn't work on accounts which are self-deleted
