People:

  • Profile pages don't seem to be accessible via ID, although apparently each user is represented internally by an incremental number.
    • There is actually a way to get (all?) the usernames. Each badge has a list of blingees by a user that have won that badge, accessible via an ID (e.g. http://blingee.com/badge/view/42/user/1). Importantly, that page has a link to the user's profile. The ID seems to be the user ID, as /user/1 is blingee_team and /user/2 is a co-founder of Blingee. Some of them say "Oops, Error", which could correspond to a deleted or private profile.
    • From this, it's easy to get a list of usernames very quickly. According to my search, there are approximately 22,677,110 users on Blingee.
    • ... and growing because the signup page is still active.
  • Each profile page can have comments. A full paginated list is available at http://blingee.com/profile/USERNAME/comments (example)
  • An incomplete list of users: http://blingee.com/people

Between August 16 and October 8, 2015, ArchiveTeam downloaded more than 6 terabytes of content, but then Blingee started banning our IPs – and also with respect to the fact that they are not shutting down, the project got suspended.

Bulk archive files can be found here, and the content should also be reachable through the Wayback Machine.
