Now THIS IS WHAT WE NEED
Do you have the ability / time to write a script like this: https://unscored.arete.network/ but a bit different as this tool doesn't preserve someone's account if they are deleted. It would primarily be text only so I bet it could be hosted for free somewhere, and the images could be hosted on catbox.moe (see https://catbox.moe/faq.php under the banned content section, I don't think this usage would be in violation as we wouldn't be making money)
The formatting of the archive could be as in-depth as you like, for example the ability to search for posts on the whole site, or by specific users, or by date ranges etc. What do you think? or, perhaps it could be a much simpler script which automatically archives say the top 100 active users' posts, once a week, or whatever, onto archive.org?
