An extremely quick/messy & heavily redundant archive of /r/lincoln,
designed to grab a snapshot of all threads along with vital stats (the
available traffic stats & details of moderator actions, both of which
buffer out after an amount of time). Predictably, this pulled in a
whole bunch of excess content as well as it was accomplished using a
series of DownThemAll operations, and not selectively crawled.

Despite the downfalls of this operation, at the very least, this is a
comprehensive copy of all /r/lincoln threads (including content only
viewable to mods: spam & removed comments/threads) as of 31 August 2012
-- it's all here at least once. The only thing missing would be
comments that users have deleted on their own, since those are
accessible to no one.

Because of the sensitivity of some of this information, the password is
currently non-public, but kept to a theoretically crackable value for
posterity. [simple 12-digit numerical]
