About the incomplete archive data

I had a lot of school work to do and did not spend much time on this project. When I did have free time, I first started testing the archiving - coincidently, that was the time of the deadline - Ruqqus's API closed in the middle of an archive test. I had overestimated the time I had before the deadline. The data published here is all I have been able to archive.

As far as I know, there is no full archive of Ruqqus. There is a partial archive available at https://ruqqus-archives.netlify.app/.
