Thread archiving by request + bookmarking

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Instead of archiving a whole board at a time, I suggest there be a feature to 
monitor and archive specific threads from specific boards. Case in point, I 
currently have 782 folders with 782 threads saved. It is very difficult to 
navigate these threads when they are not browsable in the form of an imageboard.

Isn't that what 4chanarchive is for?

I don't really get what you're asking for, though. Do you want to be able to 
archive full images on a specific thread on demand, is that it? Because all 
threads for the boards we monitor are already archived, it's just a matter of 
bookmarking whatever thread you want to save.

I suppose I was rather vague in my description, so I will elaborate further:

Instead of creating a board which has the purpose to archive and compile all 
data that flows through a specific board, a user will manually begin archiving 
threads for a specific purpose.

For example:

If the board's host would wish to only compile an archive of discussions 
related to a specific manga or anime from /a/, they would only submit 
individual threads related to that series into an easy, browsable format 
without having to navigate through the entirety of /a/'s posts.

Using a more specific example for what I would intend to use the feature for:

I propose to use the board to host archived drawthreads from /co/, in which 
requests people have made on the board can come back at their own leisure, past 
the thread's expiration, to see if their request was ever fulfilled. Currently, 
each new themed drawthread has at least half the posts asking if their request 
was filled from the previous thread. I would like to eliminate this clutter and 
archive the talent put into these threads at the same time.

I currently use ChanThreadWatch to achieve this, and have attempted to create 
an ASP version of imageboard software like this, however, the speed and 
flexibility just isn't there.

Though, you are quite right, this is what 4chanarchive is for, but that is more 
of a chan-driven and anon-influenced place. However, the way I see it is people 
should be able to create their own browsable archives in which they can view 
the threads they specifically participated in or liked.

If I understand correctly, you're asking for a way to:
a) Let users archive threads (with full images) by request
b) Let users maintain a list of threads they want to follow, like a Bookmarks 
feature

I would actually like this. But it's not very easy to do with the current 
design of fuuka. 4chanarchive and the suptg archive are much better suited to 
this task.

There's about a 99% chance I won't implement this, since if I ever feel like 
doing further work on fuuka, there's other major issues that need to be 
resolved first, but I'm not against someone else doing it. I'll gladly merge 
that feature into the main tree, as long as it can be enabled/disabled in the 
config file by the archiver administrator.
