I clicked on the link, then realized I didn't care and closed it.

I am working on server maintenance all night or until my insomnia induced marathon stops and I pass out.

If Prismatic is overloaded I have no problem running the script for people then posting the results somewhere they can get to them. It isn't up on a site or anything though so you would have to send me your login info. PM it to me and I will do you first come first served until the servers go down or I pass out, lol. I suggest including a working email address too so I can contact you if the servers go down to tell you how to collect your stuff.

Again Prismatic's page is probably the best bet but time is becoming a concern and I can pull PMs down quite fast with this script. There is no parsing done to the results though. You end up with one file per PM that is essentially the page you see when you look at that PM. I might put something to parse that up at a later date but really you can just sic windows search on it and you should have no problem finding what you are looking for.

The hosting was as craptastic as the format, so I'm going out on a limb and risking having you all crush my web servers into dust. Updated link in the first post. It's still the same tool Prismatic wrote, just running on Opteron powered servers with more RAM and a 100mb/s connection to the internet. Worked good in testing, so whatever. Same shit applies - it's still free, so no refunds. And if you start an archive, leave it running. Don't damn stop it and try again, since that'll just end up with an archive with weird duplicates and shiz.

No, since Prismatic killed Apache. How many PMs did you have? Pulling 75 or so seems to take about 3-5 minutes so if you've got many thousands, then a few hours is about right.

Steelwind was able to get mine for me. He offered to do Foxy's next, but maybe he'll still have time for some of yours? It's worth a shot.

For reference I had 125 pages sent/130 received for a total of 12,813 PM's.



Way to go steel



grats jen!
