Stack ExchangeAcademicEngagementKnowledge sharingQ&ASocial graphVideo & streaming The content of avp.stackexchange.com (https://avp.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 43,691 rows: 20,947 posts (9,182 questions, 11,332 answers, 215 tag wiki excerpts, 215 tag wikis and 3 posts of type 7) and 22,744 comments, written between 19 November 2010 and 31 March 2024. Beside it are 34,446 user accounts, 65,901 votes, 47,451 badges awarded, 331 tags, 68,896 post revisions and 822 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 189 rows.
