Thank you for giving us a month’s window to the Forum.

It will give us a chance to set up alternative forms of contact and interaction about our courses.

Hey, @DW7 .

I don’t see a message about a month’s window. Could you explain?

There isn’t an announcement @Hombre_sin_nombre - it’s just that I found out - so this is an unofficial announcement.

I actually got an email about it today in answer to my request to reopen the forum from weeks ago:

Hi,

We have now reopened the forum for 30 days should you wish to gather any information from it or contact any other course creators.

Kind regards,
Memrise team

I might try to scrape the entire forum and compile it into a zip file (or similar) sometime in the next week or so. That is, if someone else doesn’t do it first. Maybe we could try to contact /r/Datahoarder and see if one of them already has a setup/tool that would work for this?

Might also be a good idea to scrape some of the most popular community courses, too (and maybe selectively curate some of the well-made but obscure courses, too). I really, really hope they wouldn’t shut them down anytime soon, especially without warning, but who really knows?

I’ve been working on it via the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive, but having the whole thing in file version would be really nice

I’m currently working on a full scrape. I’ll post a link here so that everyone can download it when it’s finished, God willing :slight_smile:
