RSS

That's going to come in mightily convenient.

That is a fantastic suggestion and I have just implemented that. Thanks for the idea! I'm not quite ready to give out the link yet but it does exactly that - pulls a complete copy of the entire forums as XML.

Just in case you go and do something crazy again

Oh yeah. You know it's bad when you can't trust yourself not to destroy all of your hard work because you get in a weird state of mind from time to time.

Let me know when that mass-export RSS is ready and I'll write a script to pull a copy every week or so.

It can't hurt to have some remote backup copies just in case.

Quaz and Wolfwood29, I have the export ready to roll.

You must be logged in to pull the feed:

Please do not pull the feed excessively. Once a week should be fine, if that's what you prefer.

I have also improved upon the regular RSS feeds to show the entire post instead of a very short snippet.

On the subject of making the most of the RSS feeds:

I've been trying out an Androd app called gReader. It's a fairly solid RSS reader although you have to purchase the paid version to get rid of those annoying banner ads at the bottom of the screen.

It's a very good way to keep up on the latest posts in here and it's dead simple to set up.
