I put in a marathon effort yesterday, got the bulk of it done.

200-odd links left to go, fill in a couple of gaps, and it will be in a publishable but still unfinished state. I still have to add in some Mass Drop links.

I sincerely hope this database won't be abused. I'll have put days of work into adding the links to 19 years worth of work, so please only use it if you're looking for something specific, or just hit up the Git Repo if you want to get everything, just give RuEm a few days to sort out what's there first, please. Don't abuse the Git Repo either, please, it's a valuable slice of infrastructure we use to get this content out to you.

If any of the sources go away, there aren't many options left to host this stuff. If anything goes wrong, it will mean hours to days of work to rebuild.

What I've been doing potentially puts the content at risk, but I did it to not only make it easier for me to manage links, but to address a concern of the wider community that the content was difficult to find and acquire. So when this drops, don't go nuts it it, and/or send the database to everyone you know, it'll just ruin everything for everybody.

I'll probably drop the NSC database tomorrow too. Probably.

Imma go bed. Tired.

Nick
