Thank you!
15QA talks about the work he's done archiving the old transcripts, in this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=108
The original transcripts for this time period were all lost when go.com pulled the plug on us.

Since that thread, there's been a couple of changes. There's two transcript pages:
1. wwtbam.biz/tranlist.php
2. wwtbam.biz/trancal.php
The first one lists the transcripts in chronological order and defaults to 25 contestants per page. Since there's been nearly 2000 contestants, you might want to change to 100 per page to make navigation easier. This is pretty much the same page as wwtbam.biz/test.php.
The second one lets you navigate the transcripts via a calendar object. You can view an entire show's transcript, or an individual player's transcript on a particular show.
I have been keeping the questions relatively up to date, so most of season 6 is in my database. Soon after the season is complete, all the questions will be available.
Bear in mind that the transcript pages are functionally very rough, especially the second one. I've had issues with the Yahoo APIs (programming interfaces) I've been using. So if performance seems slow, be patient and try again.
Fully integrating the transcripts into my site and improving their performance is an offseason goal of mine.

Cool! Will everyone win more money when you improve their performances? I think you deserve a nice percentage of the added winnings!

Careful, there! Next thing you know, 15QA will declare his website a church so that he can avoid paying taxes on that percentage.
Like someone we know with a glittery website.
