Stack Exchange — bioacoustics.stackexchange.com

The content of bioacoustics.stackexchange.com (https://bioacoustics.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 3,097 rows: 1,598 posts (480 questions, 1,074 answers, 17 tag wiki excerpts, 17 tag wikis and 10 posts of type 6) and 1,499 comments, written between 22 June 2022 and 30 March 2024. Beside it are 1,998 user accounts, 10,217 votes, 3,351 badges awarded, 211 tags, 3,988 post revisions and 97 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 8 rows.
