fuck reddit fuck spez and don't open the subreddit. if you absolutely must have something from the sub ask the mods to get it for you

I would definitely be down for that, I just wanna access some minor fixes that I know were in the original sub
Can a script be written to scrape all that from cached posts? Google has a lot of it cached and I’m guessing the Internet archive might as well.
