Probably not relevant or useful to some folks, but it'd be nice to be able to backup my own posts, PMs, etc Google Takeout style. Basically just download an archive of all data relevant to my TMC account.
Might not seem important now, and I can certainly see there being objections on several aspects... but there are any number of things that could one day cause TMC to vanish from the internet much like many other sites before them. While I'm not hoping for that in any way, I'd be pretty disappointed if it did happen... even like, 20 years from now.
Sure, we've got archive.org and such, but that's also something that may not be around indefinitely. It also doesn't get 100% of posts, and definitely not PMs and such.
Anyway, in my efforts to backup all things possible until I die, it'd be nice to backup my extensive TMC contributions and conversations somehow that didn't involve scripted scraping of some kind.
Pretty low effort feature I think. Just a thought.
