Just in the interests of my own laziness, would it be possible to clone one or two of my build threads to another (non forum) website?
I wouldn't need the ability to login and comment, it would just be a lot easier than writing them all up again.

In reply to RevRico:
Only way i know of would be to 'edit' each post, and then copy/paste the contents of each post on the new forum.
You could chop the posts themselves out of raw HTML...less work than edit/copy/paste/repeat.

I was thinking about using the "view source" option and pulling the html out BUT, I haven't tried that here yet and have no idea what kind of scripts I'd have to sort through.
It would also present a challenge of pictures, although the website I want to "port"to is where most of my pictures are hosted.
The smart play may just be copy and pasting individual posts from here into a blog post there, would have the benefit of getting rid of all the times I repeat myself and all the project notes I made them completely disregarded.
I was just thinking there might be some script I was overlooking that could populate a webpage with the contents of a forum page. I feel like I've seen that done with RSS feeds, but as far as I know RSS feeds are a thing of the past and GRM doesn't do them.
RSS feeds are still around and GRM used to do them. There won't be any problems with the pics, they'll load just as before. You'll basically need to pick your posts out of the thread's HTML using a search or filter algorithm, or even doing it manually might not be too much work.
One thing that might help:
If you narrow down the browser window, the extra frames on the side disappear and only show the posts. From there you can select on the posts on the page and just clear out the extra stuff.
Not sure if it's easier or quicker, but worth a try.
Firefox has a "Save as Webpage" that will create an html file and folder with local copies of all the images so it looks like it does online from your desktop. Then you can edit out all the forum stuff to have just text and links like a blog. You can also use a spider tool to grab it all if it's 100 pages or something.
When you decide to rehost it - you just need to grep/sed all the links back to the online version of the hosted images before you upload the HTML.
You'll need to log in to post.
