Ray Peat Forum Posts Archived and Searchable

brad

Someone reached out to me on Twitter about creating a backup for RPF post search in case the forum gets locked down to the public again. He's spun up this website where you can search posts: https://peatarchive.com

It's still quite new and may have issues but it does work. I'm in touch with the creator, feel free to write suggestions or feedback in this thread and I'll send it his way.

@brad I know a lion whose face is about to melt

This is great!

I was wondering if it would be possible to just search for a user without searching for a particular subject. I tried and it didn't work, but maybe did it wrong.

@S-Holmes Until this is changed, I suppose you could search using a filler word (e.g., "a" or "the" and then sort).

S.Holmes

@Coriander Great idea!

brad

@S-Holmes I'll pass that suggestion along to the creator.

Oops! What did I do wrong? Lol

S.Holmes

@tyrobull Oh wait, I think I got it.

Love this.

While this is great, it would be even better if the posts could be imported onto a new forum. Like a carbon copy of the old forum.

There was some archive .zip file that was over a gigabyte, the current .csv file is 700 MB, I wonder if someone has the original still?

Mr. X

@revenant i have both the csv and the zip file
but ive problem with both.

For example the zip file has every thread from RPF
as an HTML which is good

But only the first site of the thread if the thread has more than one site which most of the interesting ones have. The other pages are missing.

The csv is incomplete hard to search and is always crashing my system because its too big

peatarchive is nice but is also missing many thinks

I never thought that RPF will go down forever otherwise I would ask some software engineers who i know to help me

Has anyone the full archive either as html or csv or whatever?

Now would be a good time to get the remaining 20% that wasn't archived added.

Mr. X

@Ixionereus
was also my thoughts. But IDK who of the guys here can do it.
