It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
Why is it better not to use length? Faster processing?
Shorter cleaner code less prone to failure - will work for any length, or at least while LoyceV keeps 10k files per folder. Might be faster but in this case I don't think it matters much.
Granted right now what you have works fine so no real need to change until we get to 100 million posts
I didn't archive posts yet when that topic was created. I scraped the posts later, the first post for instance is archived as oldposts #31577013. I have those posts only sorted by msgID, not by topicID. I'm currenly processing all data, but at the rate it's going, it's going to take a few weeks to complete. It's not very efficient, and therefore takes a lot of processing power. I only now realize I should also process these posts per userID, and I should have done that from the start, so I'll have to restart this. It'll takes a bit longer again Stuff like this would be so much easier from a database, but luckily I'll only have to do this once (more).
So you don't need to take the first 3 digits, you need to remove the last 4 digits. The logic behind this is that I create directories with at most 10,000 files. I checked for a few userIDs too, those seem to work fine.
You did almost everything for me Made a small code change, now it is working.

You are sending request to their servers, they will save at least your IP request there. There is no need to do that. You can just download the font and use it in your own server.
No offence, but to me, this sounds a little paranoid, doesn’t it? I mean, we talking here about font style. I am not sure is it possible to be 100% safe over the internet if you use all of his resources. It can easily change an IP address, restarting router. Maybe I am naive, but I really don't see a serious problem here.
But in this case there is no reason to get the fonts from their servers, and it is like 1kb file, why don't you host it? It may be paranoid, but it is more a matter of philosophy about the web imo.
I'm not familiar with this, is this the standard accepted thing nowdadays? Do users not care about external tracking? Or am I just too concerned?
It is bad for privacy and for page loading times. But it is good to keep your libraries updated. Personally, I download everything and I run it in my own server. I don't care about updates.

I'd like to add a submenu under the top-menu though, like examplens made here. under "MERIT", but it might make it a lot larger and more complicated to make changes (to so many pages) later. How would I start editing this? Just manual with an editor, or is there a better GUI method to do so? Again: total n00b here when it comes to designing things.
This is called a dropdown.
Bootstrap is a very nice design language, which you will probably like.

I like the top-menu and the simple design to add some more pages. It'll take me a while to figure out all details how everything works to adjust things.

I like the simplicity, but I'm really looking for something I can add to all my pages. So a top-menu to add everywhere. Tables can for sure improve Trust list pages, but that'll also complicate a lot of the things where I use the same HTML. So maybe I'll add this much later, but it's too much work to do that now too.
language/ software to scrape data and to keep it realtime update
Anything you want should work. Sorry for giving a generic answer, but what works for me probably won't work for you. One thing though, if you start the right way, you'll save a lot of time later. I clearly didn't think it through doing this without database.

How to build up a simple website
Didn't this topic make it very obvious I know nothing about designing a website? Putting it online is as simple as getting hosting and uploading it. Other than that, this isn't the right topic to get into details.
I like both a bit, but not the animations. It gave me more of an idea what I want: a menu (CSS?) on top would fit nicely in all (few million) pages I have, so I can add it above for instance https://loyce.club/trust/2020-10-03_Sat_05.09h/1554927.html too. I think that would largely improve usability. I have to go soon, so I'll continue later.
