[x]We're back! After a failure of the drives in our database server, all data has been restored from last night's backup. The last 24 hours or so of submissions will likely need to be re-made but everything else should be okay. Please let me now if you notice anything not working as it should though. Thanks! -Petie

On the subject of retrieving data, wouldn't it be theoretically possible to make a DOM-parsing program that will auto-download the cached pages for you from Google and parse the data? I've never done this sort of thing before* but if it's really gonna take ages to do, it might be worth for me or one of the staff to look into.

*While I haven't done something to scrape pages automatically, I once made a DOM-parsing program in PHP that I never finished to clean up saved pages from a forum to archive them neatly and fix the broken CSS.


And a chat with Dazz tells me that Google rejects crawling-like activity. Oh well '_;
