I know one of you smart enterprising techies out there can back up this entire sub in a way that "replicates" it daily, as well as weekly/monthly "snapshots." In case someone fucks with the replicated version. This way, anyone can pull down and create a local copy any time they want.
I'm just afraid these assholes will find a legal tool to take us down, and all this work will be gone forever.
This is my challenge to the pizzagate community. I know one of you can accomplish this.
Half will be paid upon demonstrated proof of concept, while the other half will be paid upon full delivery.
I know it's not much, but it's what I can afford to contribute right now.
Im tired of being afraid of waking up one morning to find voat gone. This information must be preserved.
If there's already a way to do this, please enlighten me.

I can do it. My big question is about hosting preference. If it would get taken down here it could get taken down however it is distributed out from the archive.
Basically how would you like the archive to be stored and made available?
To be honest $100 might be a little short if you want every feature I can think of. Grabbing the post sure. Hosting it all, sure. Grabbing every comment even as comments can be made days after and making it available live which means sql and constant scraping. Absolutely doable, but still a pretty decent amount of work. The comments are valuable and they load via ajax.
This is all very doable.
So if the requirements are reasonably contrained that can be done for that amount. I'd think you would want the full thing though.

Thank you for your willingness to help. Someone is already working on this, but he needs help. Can you follow the link in the updated OP and see what you can do? I'm willing to split the final $50 between the original developer and anyone else who helps him?

Hmm, I think for the sake of being polite to the main dev I would be a little uncomfortable with that arrangement. I'd rather work with him directly in such a case.
@freetibet, I'm available if any particular part gives you a hicup. What needs to be done or improved.
I guess if I we do work together and he acknowledges that I helped you can pay my $50 to him and we'll work things out between us.
