Hey Zilla,

I guess it would be possible to write some include/exclude filters to spider the forum with iSiloX. But honestly I would avoid using iSiloX for downloading forums. Downloading an entire forum causes so much traffic that it is not fair to the webmaster of the site (I speak from my own experiences). Plus you run in danger that you forget to exclude this or that link causing iSiloX to hang in a loop and to endlessly download content from the site.
