It'll depend on the whims of the rights owner(s), if any. Assuming someone else does own the rights, you would be in violation of copyright law. Whether that would be enforced is another matter.

But I have a dream. The entire content of these forums could be great fodder for training a neural network. Then imagine people posting in a forum and getting responses from TR regulars with the text statistics of the responses matching those of the original TR members. Like having an immortal online personality.

AI bots learn and evolve. They would learn from TR forums how issues were solved and pick up troubleshooting skills as well as how to point people to good sources of information. Wouldn't you feel proud if JBI the bot helps people brew the perfect beer long after you are gone?
