I was chatting about this with some friends. If we had a million or so spare, just fork Reddit. Grab the latest open source version of Reddit, pay the pushshift guys for the most up-to-date dump they have and get it in.

Make a system for claiming your old Reddit account. I'm guessing if you try to use OAuth, Reddit will just ban you. So you need to get creative, probably make an extension that grabs the users sessionid from their cookies or something (or let people copypaste it in if they are technical enough).

Fun to imagine but unfortunately probably won't happen.

Noone will use it
