Who Wants To Do A Tedious Chore?

If it's germane, yet doesn't fit into another category, it can go here.

Who Wants To Do A Tedious Chore?

Post by Alicorn »

So, before I made this forum there were discussion threads on TV Tropes for both Elcenia and Luminosity. Both of them contained interesting discussion and some worldbuilding Q&A that is distressingly unsearchable and unwieldy. I tried to find some kind of scraper tool for TV Trope discussion threads, but nothing turned up. Can I get anybody to copy-paste them here so I can use the local search when I want to find things from them? Maybe several of you so you can divvy up the task?

The local search can sometimes be grumptious. For example:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: joker.
I am not keen to do a tedious chore, but I hope you find one or more volunteers!

The local search also has that problem when searching for two words, both common but rarely used together. Google with site:alicorn.elcenia.com/board as one of the terms probably works better, but I always forget to try that.

I am very busy for the weekend but if this is crowdsourceable I’ll try to get a small amount of copying done.

tbh if someone does the tedious chore and hopefully condenses it into a few pages of local I'll just paste it all into a text document so I can use the Find function.

I can probably do text doc form fairly easily, just not in the super immediate future because I am on my way to the airport :)

I could do it, but not super-fast does it need to be done soon-ish or all at once?
Sorry for my bad english

I am curious if this is still an unsolved/forgotten problem
The WAFFLES will submit to this indignity.
