Hey guys.

I’m an admin of a private discourse forum and I would like to scrape it to get a static backup of the site.

Why? In a few years, the forum might not exist and I would like to share with all its users a local copy so we can remember the good old times 🙂 .

I think a scraper(httrack/wget) can do it, but is there a better solution? If not, has anyone already used a scraper on discourse and could give me some pointers?

Thanks 😉
