It is possible. But i don't want to put a link every page.
We can do something like:
https://bitcointa.lk/threads/bitcointa-lk-the-bitcointalk-community-with-a-2014-forum-software.281718/page-3#post-5710434
=>

Feature request: a link to the original thread/post on this site, when it exists.

(I understand that all threads here get replicated there but the inverse is not possible, is it right?)

Theymos seems to act respectfully for now. Sure, he is a bit upset for the crawlers, but who wouldn't?

I'm monitoring the requests/second and i'm trying to optimise it, to see if i can make space to sync removed/modified posts as well.

I don't plan on starting to accept donations, but i would like to code an advertising system and launch it when we reach 10k pageviews per day Smiley

Personal text my ass....
This is very difficult to get my head around all this. Theymos, with enough bitcoin to equal I think in the millions of dollars has asked for help on creating new software and updated the database. Then for whatever reason, just sat on it and did nothing about it. Literally years went by with many offers to create not only a custom forum but a brand new one. One that was never used before. Funds was not the problem, but unfortunately I think greed got in the way and he couldn't part with 1 bitcoin. My guess, is soon as you start to get donations, more and more donations and theymos hears about this your crawlers will be shut down %100. This forum is a money making honey hole for the site operator that refuses to update the forum software.

As of now, nothing happens. The post is downloaded a few seconds after the first time it's posted here on Bitcointalk.org (almost in real time) and is never updated.
Since that it's a feature that everyone is asking for, i'm working on an intelligent way to update those posts.

However, it won't delete them from public view completely. There will be some fancy way of noting that the post was removed from Bitcointalk.org, but it will be completely visible. The same goes for post history; it will be publicly available.

For example, HashFast decided to self-moderate their last thread. The Bitcointalk.org version has 247 replies, Bitcointa.lk has 455 (!!!).

Indeed, a member is using bitcointa.lk to show proofs of delete messages here:

BTW, nice service, thank you Cedivad!

Please do not PM me loan requests!
Wow, this is really great! Grin
I'd be happy to help texture the forum, and including historical posts (back to 2009) would be pretty cool!
Do you mean something like the first thread satoshi did in this forum? Smiley

I have to admit that it was interesting to see it while the posts were being downloaded chronologically.

It would be awesome to have a "wayback machine" feature to show for example what the forum was talking about the first of april 2010

Oh.. Lol...

By that feature you mean show posts in order by last updated up until a certain date, as they'd have appeared live at that time? Because that's something I'd also love to see. Wink

No, but expect it soon (1 day).

If you visit the "browser extension" page with the browser extension installed you will see a list of things you can import, such as like your ignored users, watchlist, etc. I was lazy so i only coded the interface and the browser extension part of it. I still have to code my server side.

Is there a way to import my Watchlist to Bitcointa.lk?

It looks like that the bans are automatic, and that something changed yesterday that broke the crawlers that were working fine since a month.
If that is the case, there won't be any problem but a momentary one Smiley

I just wanted to say thank you to theymos for having decided to ban our crawler twice during the last 12 hours.

Thank you, theymos.

Maybe make it request every 5 seconds?

Can't say I'm that surprised, but it's a shame to see such a good project be hamstrung.

Thank you, but i think the design to be fine for now. I'm working under the hood, if we grow enough to require a quality and custom design, it will be in the future.

I got inspired yesterday and i finished the history thing this morning...
3 example previews on imgur: http://imgur.com/wTvH0B6,HiKVu7M,A4DmNyD



I'm quite happy with the results. (i will release this feature in few days, i need to play with some permissions).

Requests on what to do next? (i have my plans, but maybe the community has better ideas)

This looks really nice.

Obviously it's 10x better then the .org theme, but you should modernize the XenForo default theme.

Send me a PM if you need help.  Smiley

Changelog for today.

1) Fixed the non parsed urls; urls to matched content on bitcointalk.org/bitcoin.org are now converted to the proper page on Bitcointa.lk. (Example)
2) Bitcointa.lk can now be used to send post with special/accented characters. (Example)

The next on the todo is checking how posts are modified and removed on Bitcointalk.org to sync that as well.

A set of web crawlers i wrote. Nothing special (someone asked if i have a backdoor in the Bitcointalk.org database server... Well, no, but it would be handy Smiley)
