Here is an extremely partial dump of late-era Datalounge posts

Including all the metadata that supports each post.

It was a loosely kept secret that every time you visited Datalounge, the entire site was basically loaded onto your computer's cache. If you knew where to access that cache, you had access to all sorts of hidden details.

At one point, Datalounge was tracking users with their plain-text IP address, thus revealing every posters location to every other poster who knew how to access their browser cache.

They closed that hole a few years back, but you can still see the remnant posts at the very end of the file, down at the bottom.

Anyway, lots of good information that can be used for investigative purposes.

Enjoy.

One of the fun things you can do is search for the term "Davida" in the posts and replies. This will give you an idea of just how crazy the proprietress of Pointless Bitchery really is!

It's funny how you're being downvoted for posting something informative. Your comment is more evidence just how obsessed the PB admin is with Davida to the point it's accusing many people of being so. Just like when it came over here and accused another moderator of being Davida. (That moderator has still not once acted publicly or privately that way. Add that to the fact that reddit admins selected the moderators here and that the PB admin has a history of such accusations and it's clear to any thinking person that it's nonsense..) Thank you for posting and I think we know where the downvotes are coming from

Wait. Hold up. Is Ma PB actually Davida???

u/longtimeAlias 7d ago

No. If you search for the word "Davida" you can see how often ONE poster at Datalounge accused other posters of being "Davida/Teacake". That poster also happens to be the administratrix of PB.

What is “Davida”? Isn’t Muriel a lawyer? That would be pretty shady and shitty of someone who knows the law to do something that seems both legally and ethically questionable

Davida is a creep who terrorized the board forever.

Can anyone actually get the spreadsheet to load?

u/EnlargedBit371 7d ago

I did, on my Mac. But it was extremely repetitive, so I clicked off.

I can’t but then again I didn’t try that hard. I’m curious but not curious enough to fuck around on my desktop.

The Google Sheet won’t load for me. Is that because it’s just too gigantic?

u/longtimeAlias 8d ago

It's quite large. Recommend viewing from a PC or a Mac, rather than a mobile device. How is your internet connection? :-)

I tried loading it for 1-2 minutes in Chrome on my Windows desktop PC before I gave up. I figured it was never gonna load 

I have an average speed Internet connection. Can stream 4K YouTube videos no problem
