Opsahl UC Irvine Online Forum Network
UC Irvine forum network, a network of the Koblenz Network Collection (KONECT) (User–forum posts). KONECT's file for it has the header `% bip positive`, i.e. a bipartite network with weights marked `positive`. This copy holds 33,720 edges between 899 user nodes and 522 forum nodes, timed from 14 May 2004 to 26 October 2004.
