Since issues with www.python-forum.org I was thinking yesterday for some archiving feature. I've seen this in a radio forum and is a nice feature. By my opinion. It was able to archive the whole forum, a subforum or even the list of user threads in the user profile. Just have it as a button somewhere in the page and it archives all with in the category. As xml for example. Don't remember the other file format.
@[metulburr] would you like to comment on this?

Could you specify this more?
What the button was doing is to download archive for listed threads or subforums. Depends of what forum or subforum, or a result of find is opened. For example now I am in Python Forums › Forum & Off Topic › Board so if I click on the button I will download all "Board" category from the database as a xml file. If I am in the top page I will able to download all forum as a big single xml file. If I search for a 'parsing html' and I have listed all results I will be able to download as xml all that list. Directly from the database I presume.

I can't point to the forum where I have seen this. They were moved to Facebook
Oh your talking about this forum?  :lolsign:

I thought you were talking about the old forum. I was gonna say we dont have access. 

You can generate an XML RSS at the bottom link of the index page, for a per forum, all forums, specfiic forums basis.

Doesn't seems like the same I am talking about. However the second link returns a html page and one can use:
wget -rpk -l 200 -np -c -U Mozilla http://python-forum.io/archive/index.php
ot actualy download all the forum if he/she wants.
wget -r -O filename.xml http://python-forum.io/syndication.php?fid=&type=atom1.0&limit=15
and change the URL to whatever URL you are given based on the  RSS definitions.

hmmm that codebox is escaping the URL
:/
http://python
http://python-forum.io/syndication.php?f...0&limit=15
Yes i see it happens when url is in middle of that wget command,if start with url it's okay.
Not sure why yet,it guess that http:// should be a link.
It's not a problem that will happens often,
all code posted til now on site looks okay.

Using ouput tag will fix these wget command for now.
Output:
wget -r -O filename.xml http://python-forum.io/syndication.php?fid=&type=atom1.0&limit=15
I think the quote tag or even plain text for "code" like this is ok
