I bought jimisaherb.com and am trying to host a Kinja Oppo archive there

[FTTOHG]

(Edit) OK so I'm actually getting something going now. It isn't perfect - basically none of the embeds are going but it is becoming something resembling a usable archive. Just one big page with 100 posts that were pulled out of 2016 with up to 10 comments for (pre)beta testing: http://jimisaherb.com

Images are still coming from kinja.com. That means the avatars are whatever your avatars are now and the images in the posts and comments are also coming from the herbship. I don't know how long they will be there. Maybe we'll be able to get a full backup in time or maybe they will never take them down who knows.

I'm going to try to somehow host archived Oppo content there. All I have so far is this post:

Right now the images are still being hosted on kinja.com. How much longer they are live who knows. I don't know if we'll be able to archive it all in time. Right now I'm still trying to pull out the raw text of the post and replies.

I also need to figure out how to do an index of some sort. I'm a web coding novice and Oppo amassed something like 500,000 posts over the years so we will need something more than just a single page list. Or what the heck maybe we can just list every post ever on a single page and see if we crash our browsers. Wouldn't be any worse than some of the Kinja glitches over the years.

Holy crap, 500K? I should be surprised, but then again maybe not.

@chariotoflove Honestly seems a little thin.

[FTTOHG]

There were years over 50,000 - averaging like 140 posts per day or 5 posts and hour on average or so.

@phenotyp
I won’t contradict you when I think about it.

[Exage03040]

Beautiful.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@chariotoflove considering how many are Pip's I might expect more. That's still an incredibly impressive number. I can lay claim to 340 of those myself.

@whoistheleader
You’ve been pretty prolific!

[FTTOHG]

@whoistheleader I made about 700 but probably only 50 or so weren't shitposts.

@fttohg You're a legend.

[doodon2whls]

@fttohg Is there any rhyme or reason to the posts it is pulling ? I only made 300 posts over the years - maybe two dozen memorable ones... But nonetheless, your script pulled on of mine in (ICYMTM THe C7 Corvette is afookin' hoot)

[FTTOHG]

It should have pulled all of them in. There are a couple others on Discord working on pulling everything as well so we should end up with a few copies. The site I set up just doesn't have all of the posts yet - I'm still playing with the format so it was just a quick grab of 100 posts. So when I get it up all up there then all of your posts should show up.
