# Elliquiy roleplaying forum data |
|
|
|
A collection of 6,640,593 posts and 112,328 thousands of mostly _erotic_ roleplaying forum threads from Elliquiy, from October 2005 through early April 2023. About 9 GB of uncompressed text data (including formatting tags). The data is from the larger [raw Forum RP dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lemonilia/Roleplay-Forums_2023-04) I also uploaded. |
|
|
|
Basic automated cleaning was performed, but the messages are still (by deliberate choice) mostly in HTML format, with the notable exception of converting linebreaks into `\n`. |
|
|
|
In addition to the messages, some metadata was provided for convenience, as well as alternative usernames that could be used instead of directly usernames (in the format of `User0`, `User1` ... `UserN`). These are unique per-thread, but not globally. |
|
|
|
Consider this a **work in progress**. I might update the dataset in the future as I improve the cleaning procedure. |
|
|
|
# Limitations |
|
During the scraping procedure (occurred on April 2023) some information like text color and links was lost in the process. Most of the data is adult-themed, and given that usernames inside the posts still exist, it would be best if usernames weren't directly used when training a model with this data. |
|
|
|
Given the text formatting used by many users, complete and thorough conversion to Markdown seems very difficult without losing information in the process or causing other issues. |

# Cleaning procedure details |
|
## At the element level |
|
- Converted post dates to ISO format |
|
- Simplified blockquotes |
|
- Removed attributes (class, style) from most tags |
|
- Changed stylistic div/span into their closest HTML counterpart |
|
- Some deprecated tags have been used |
|
- Cosmetic font sizes consolidated into three categories: `<small>`, normal, `<big>` |
|
- Font changes removed |
|
- Special CSS effects removed |
|
- Background-colored text into `<mark>` |
|
- Spoiler tags converted into `<details><summary>` blocks |
|
- However, inline spoilers don't work well with this—to be checked out at a later time |
|
- Removed left/right "floating text" `<div>` |
|
- Removed left/right/justify text-alignment `<div>` |
|
- Center alignment elements changed to `<center>` (deprecated tag) |
|
- Tried to reduce the amount of `<table>` elements inappropriately used for cosmetic purposes |
|
- More work needed |
|
|
|
## At the text level |
|
- Removed non-standard unicode spaces |
|
- Changed generic spoiler text |
|
- Removed some leftover BB tags (most often the result of user error) |
|
- More work needed |
|
- Shortened some bare URLs |
|
- Tried to turn into `<a>` links some URLs, when possible (the data was scraped using a forum function that mangled links in some way) |
|
- Changed `elliquiy.com` URLs into `example.com` |
|
- Removed some site-internal URLs |
|
- Converted all smilies into emoji |
|
- Removed excessive newlines and leading/trailing spaces |
|
- Fixed some HTML element spacing issue |
|
- More work needed |
|
|
|
## NOT done |
|
- Replacing HTML escape characters |
|
- Changing fancy punctuation to ASCII punctuation |
|
- Removing usernames entirely |
|
- Removing them from the message bodies themselves might not be easy. |
