not even the smartest person could have forseen that ((((they)))) would end up killing the site

archive.org has some i think

archive.org was the first place I checked. Unfortunately, because of the Javascript required to bootstrap the QL site, it's unable to correctly load the archived URLs. However, If you could point to some working profile that has been archived, that would be fantastic.

Haven't headless browsers been a thing for a while now? I think it's possible to scrape JS generated content. Hardly ideal, though.

I'm more than aware of how to use headless browsers to scrape content. This is not an issue of being able to scrape the content. It's an issue of the content not being available to scrape. Archive.org has scraped the page itself, however it appears that the way the site loads data is by the page's core Javascript payload issuing a request to load data from a database before it's displayed. Even if you were to load that core JS payload, the database to load the data from doesn't exist.

Sorry, my intention was not to sound like a smart ass. I have no idea how their setup works or rather used to work. In fact, I don't think I've ever used the service

Maybe you can try using the old qlranks

Thanks for the suggestion. What originally gave me the idea was wanting to have a record of the Australian Quake Live community, which is much larger than just its duelers. Failing anyone being able to provide access to the original data, or some other miracle, it might just be the best thing available.
