This is just an initial test. Eventually I'll have it running on an update hourly but that takes a bit more coding. For jow let me know of anything is fucked up.

Nice taking this seriously stupid

Whatever you do, don't be like the last guy and let "SamRobertsPhiltrum" write your copyright disclaimer page for you so you're forever indebted to him and have to let him and his pathetic toadies ruin your website.

I dont know what any of that was but it sounds autistic in a way that is different from my brand of autism.

Good.

Wtf??

I stand in awe at your immense autism. Good work, brothaman.

This is a level of dedication I am simultaneously in awe of and horrified at.

I like it..

I have to say, that is PFG!

Nice website, stupid

Important work here

This kid’s going places ..... calm, quiet places where nobody will interrupt his good work or pill schedule.

I'm sure Panera Corporate has their eye on this hard working go-getter. Get a few CompTIA certs and put in two semesters at a technical community college, and he'll have a plum IT call center gig with his name on it.

It's great. I also think duplicating the content here to other subs (and automating it) would be hilarious. I don't know if the API allows you to do something like this but having something that monitors posts on one sub, and creates the same post on other subs would be pretty cool.

All of this should permanently live on Reddit in some form...Joey can't get every sub shut down, even if he has all day to sit on Reddit.

Looks like you picked python for this. You could use the Stream object from the praw library to pull data from here and update your site almost instantly. It's very comfortable to use.

Yeah I just script kiddie-ed this from the github project. https://github.com/libertysoft3/reddit-html-archiver

Its basic enough. I do more architecting than coding these days. I'll see how painful it is.
