Such is beyond my current programming skills, but if we can get Discord bots that feed data into Discord, it seems like it might be doable in reverse to convert discord messages in specific channels into posts or something.
It's not hard to do but discord is very noisy. People tend to do sentence length messages instead of full post length resulting in a lot of posts.
It'd probably be better to record a days worth of chat logs from a channel and post them in a single html searchable post if you really want to go down that road.
I do have some older code that does that, but I'd need to bring it up to date. (It doesn't respect deleted / edited messages and rich embeds break it)
Discord's api can be found here:Â Â https://discordapp.com/developers
What I was thinking was like grabbing their Character Directory, and FC-Linkshell Directory, and the housing directory. Those all appear to be fair-sized text chunks, which could just feed into some designated threads or so. ...I'm not sure if we could post as users or not. ...I know there's some support for Discord integration, but it might not have that functionality.
