omg! Hi u/loxicom nice to see you here, I'm working on archiving the 4 subs you created

Thank-you! I regret leaving, it must be a nightmare. I didn't nuke my account completely, but cannot remember my password after logging out. It was one of those funny Norton strings, so god knows what it was lol. I recently discovered I have some of the original content on my laptop. I would need to edit names and faces out again, but I have screenshots. Is there anything you'd like me to do?

Ah understand, if you make another account I'm happy to mod/approve you if you wanna save any links or anything, surprised but glad it's not banned yet. Seems like all the other mods got suspended for badlybehaved and others unfortunately but they are good resources. Set them to private after the banwave.

Still getting info on the new site that gc will have but if you're up for having the subs there I'd be happy to help.

I'm wary of creating an account and having my IP address banned. I'll think about it. How do you build an archive? I've checked out the archives for other subs and the content doesn't show. Maybe this an idiotic question, but why isn't everyone just dragging the screenshots into folders to upload elsewhere? And copying weblinks to articles/sites into a master document? We could do with a GC site. Is anyone making one?

Almost everything from BadlyBehaved were links to womenarehuman articles, so that's the easiest to recreate lol. They are idiots. PP would be an annoyance to rebuild, and probably unnecessary. What do you think about PP? The original GC sub and r/thisneverhappens are the greatest losses.

True, reddit now IP bans - but if your loxicom account hasn't got banned and you just create a throwaway it should be okay. Archive was made using a python script while the sub is in private but you can also put it on restricted and archive it through wayback machine. Head mod from troll (dontdoxxmebro) archived quite a lot of posts before trollgc got the ban. I'm not sure what the main gc sub did though. I did the screenshot thing but often there's hundreds of posts which makes that method more slow. For smaller subs though it's doable, just create a document for the links and maybe separate them by type of crime for badlybehaved (similar to the flairs). PP was specific but it's one of those things that tras said wouldn't happen (in mixed sex spaces) so was a good record but maybe it can be merged with another sub.

Just waiting for the new site to go live, it's in alpha testing at the moment.
