MODERATORS
The site needs to be scraped asap, and a clone needs to happen asap.
One of the benefits of it being such a widely used system is that we don't need to make a special effort to do so. It's already been aggregated and copied around as part of routine optimization by any number of security conscious engineers who aren't trying to make the world a worse place.
I've personally worked on at least three systems at two employers where making an automated copy of the data regularly was just an early optimization and matter of etiquette.
It's a good opportunity to learn how to do it though! You have or can get all the tools you need on your computer.
