When I run a search for my own post, I can find replies as far back as January. Need I keep searching? I don't think so, since the GWIIRP began early January. Or was it late December? Either way, if you can grab all your Guild Wars posts, with time their stamps, then I think you've got all you need. :) |

And I'm back for my daily interweb session, sitting on a bench outside a science building so I can get campus wifi.
...What?
Seems I started something. I think most or all of my GW posts are in my last 1000 posts overall, so I'll see if I can search for them. Later, though, since it's past midnight and the crickets are chirping.
EDIT: Searching my own posts through my profile didn't yield any results.

Post by Vyt: Down, but Not Out on Aug 23, 2008 4:39:30 GMT -5
Eyup, was about to ask that xD Kay then, I should get this baby copied within the next hour or so. I s'pose we'd be able to get earlier posts if we narrowed down the search terms by, for instance, searching for individual GWers' names and later pasting all the posts together by the time they're posted, but that sounds like an insane bit of work any way you slice it >>; If I knew for a fact that the cache will last for some time, I'd go for it, but as of now, I'm not entirely sure how much of the earlier posts we'd manage to dig up before the GW drops into an oblivion for good. In other words: if anyone wants to do some golddigging for posts earlier than April 2nd, go for it and copypaste the timestamps together with the posts, yes? :3 It took me longer than an hour, I think, but mmkay. XD; Alrighty.  *starts with 'Bluisa', surprised to find that she can get all the way back to Vyt's first GW2 post with that* Though unfortunately you can't search for anything with less than four letters in it, which causes problems for those of us with three-letter names. >_> *PFA* Searches for "shuriken" might bring back relatively good results, since for as long as I remember only you use that weapon. We might get several posts from pirates commenting about it, but it's pretty fine. Or maybe try using your character's lines as searches. Maybe the unique part of them would yield better results. |

The GW2 lasted for less than 240 days, so there's no real need to search for a longer time period, it just makes things lag. But as it is, I got things covered until April 2nd - still copying, why yes, I actually did sleep inbetween >>; - so in order to get earlier posts, it's probably every man for himself. I got my own posts and the Horsemen covered. If the cache lasts longer, I'll get more, but this is time-consuming work >> Not to mention my computer is constantly prompting me to restart. Boo.
And Wolf, *whipcrack* if I have a choice between seeing you finish the summary and having it end by you blowing up my ship, guess which option I'm going for? >___>

Something I'd consider doing is getting a program like PrimoPDF and simply "printing" off the search results pages into a PDF file on your PC (no actual printing of paper involved). Since all you guys are interested in right now are the posts and you're on an unknown time limit...*shrug*

'Kunai' and 'katana' could probably bring up a bunch of PFA posts, too, as those were weapons she used a lot. XD; Let's not forget 'Uncle' and 'Father,' which are probably the top two most-said-by-GW2-PFA words ever. xP *runs off to search* |

Hmmm . . . should I try searching for 'sitar', then? Or 'Seline' or 'Demene' or 'Nature'? XD *runs off to search*

[glow=red,2,300]I feel guilty not helping with the search when I'm the one who blew it up in the first place. T_T Sorry, guys, but I've got a mountain to do before I move in to the dorms tomorrow. T_T [/glow]

T_T [/glow] *patpat* Real life comes first and etc :3 I'll just take that as 'I'll search for all of Rider's older posts as well'. No worries, we got it covered. Well, I got the last 1000 posts done (the 500 after PFA's, at least) and this was def'nitely the fastest I ever got 300 pages in Word from scratch >> If GW2 was a book, it'd beat all potterbooks. Combined. *wanders off to look into that PrimoPDF thing, cos copypasting this much gets very annoying very fast* |

Ummm would it be too much trouble for anyone to get my posts, I'm going to be pretty busy this week, and probably won't have time to get them.

I could probably get them, as I'm already getting a lot of Cyborgposts by trying to find Jernathposts. XD; (This file full of GW2 posts is starting to get preeeetty huge, though. It's, like, lagging a little.   |

Youknow, that PrimoPDF program is mucho useful (...Stally, now I owe you two x'3 This'll come back to bite me.) It lags quite a bit, but is still faster than copypasting, and I now own every single post that has 'hunty' in them. Which, as it turns out, is a full quarter of the entire GW And here I thought I won't be active. ...I also got all the 'huntress' posts, all the 'blarf' posts, and am about to get to 'weewoo' and 'kestrel'. This'd probably be easier if we'd all stuck to adding our location to the beginning of the posts xD And PFA, make multiple files. It'll have to be arranged somehow later anyway, multiple files will only ensure that it won't all blow up if your computer decides to burp o'something. ....baaackup copies >> *scurries off* |

XD; With Cyborg as a close second. And I think I was the only one who used the header/color system throughout the entire GW2.  Everyone else either gave up on the colors or gave up on the headers. Multiple files is probably a good idea, yes. XD; *goes to split it up by month or something* |
