Stack Exchange — poker.stackexchange.com

The content of poker.stackexchange.com (https://poker.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 15,826 rows: 7,011 posts (2,151 questions, 4,597 answers, 128 tag wiki excerpts, 128 tag wikis and 7 posts of type 6) and 8,815 comments, written between 10 January 2012 and 21 March 2024. Beside it are 10,183 user accounts, 22,133 votes, 12,836 badges awarded, 132 tags, 18,869 post revisions and 633 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.
