  As part of a probably misguided effort for gathering useful data for a roleplay finetune, around April 2023 I scraped several of the largest or most popular English-language roleplaying forums publicly known, for a total of about 47 GB of data (uncompressed, including HTML tags and metadata), and posted the files on a public Rentry page.

Besides miscellaneous information about data quality and nature, the notes provide message count, mean length, standard deviation and message length percentiles.
