Stack Exchange — beer.stackexchange.com
The content of beer.stackexchange.com (https://beer.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 7,931 rows: 3,924 posts (1,173 questions, 2,580 answers, 83 tag wiki excerpts, 83 tag wikis, 2 posts of type 6 and 3 posts of type 7) and 4,007 comments, written between 21 January 2014 and 21 March 2024. Beside it are 10,168 user accounts, 20,765 votes, 12,901 badges awarded, 152 tags, 10,423 post revisions and 152 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 18 rows.
