Even with the news of a Blood & Fire label rebirth, the forum is still on the chopping block? That sucks.

[dom]

just a heads up, no one is sure what is going on at the moment, no one has mentioned chopping the board, now is the time to back up in case this site doesn't survive, if it is for the chop you will be informed but for many any notice won't be long enough so back up what you want / need now.

thanks for your support.

Is there any way to back up the entirety of the data on this forum so that it can be navigated or at least managed in some way? Or is it as simple... and as difficult as cutting and pasting every last stitch into a document?

Is there a better way to back up all this data from the position of a moderator/webmaster of the site? If so, I wonder how many CD's/DVD's/file space it would take. I would be interested in having this type of archive at my disposal. But I don't know the first thing about how to do it. If even one person could take on the task, then those who cared to possess it would only need a copy and whatever program is needed to open it.

Can it be done? Does anyone else think it's worth the time and effort? Am I completely mad?

I'll find out...

This will do the job. Takes awhile and so best done overnight:

I would be happy to grab an archive of the entire forum or even the site and DB and, if nothing else, put it all back up somewhere as read only at least.

Its all PHPBB isnt it? What version?

Last copyright notice in the code is 07, which means (i think) this is probably PHPBB 3. Cant imagine the overall size of the site is too big, tis all text after all.
