Bakers, quick question.

Right now wearethene.ws is not updating.

I'm trying to figure out a way to collect notables, which could then get shown on another website.

I can't host my own, but hopefully someone else is willing to do so.

Anyway, I want to detect notables based on the very first posts of the thread creator. I take the links to previous posts, and mark these as notables. I would then archive files of these posts and would be able to output the notables (text + attachments including links the the threads).

Now my main question:

Let's say the links inside the first few posts are broken, what happens in this case? Is Board Owner able to fix them (edit them) in retrospect?

I guess even if one thread has broken notables, I could still get them from the follow-up thread.

This way we would even get notables for all threads, not just the General.

I could also try to group these notables by the text that is in front of the pound sign.

Or better: look for certain words in front of the pound sign. Like "general", "australia", "uk", etc.

This could still fail, but it would simply be a group, no harm done even if there is a typo.

I would definitely ignore the number after the pound sign. I could also sort the notables according to creation time stamp.

Also can I assume that the cut off pount is a post by the thread creator with a pastebin.com / qanonbin.com link in it?

If this works, it would also be VERY IMPORTANT that all posts are notable'd.

All posts that are not notable'd will not get the archive treatment.

So buns should be avoided if possible. I could even add bun support, but this would get complicated.
