Listing GOG news and staff threads

Comprehensive news thread by JackknifeJohnson:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_news_and_staff_threads_2008
Thank you JackknifeJohnson for the valuable effort you put into that thread!

News will also be listed here:

====================================================

I wrote two linux bash scripts.

One script to extract information from gog.com news articles, namely:
date, news article URL, forum thread URL, news article title

Another script to generate lines for html and this forum.

These scripts are located:

https://gitlab.com/version2013/gog.com/

====================================================

There are occasions when there are so many news items in a single day
that the older news items get pushed off the main page before I am able
to save/archive them.

Less than 100% of all news items can be found by using the arrows near
the bottom of each news page.

Using the arrows sometimes bypasses news items; I imagine duplicate
date & time may have something to do with it.

Another reason is that gog.com has deleted (or at least made inaccessible
to the public) many news items from years past.

Missing the news items when they are on the main page can prove problematic for saving/archiving.

I rely on archived versions of the gog.com main page for verifying that I saw all news articles.
