Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't try: -

Go to http://web.archive.org/
In the search box enter http://forums.rpghost.com/archive/index.php

Go to whatever date/time you desire, scroll down that page to Role Playing Games.
Twilight: 2000 is generally about two thirds the way down that list.
Prepare yourself for lots of frustration because unfortunately not every link works - if it seems to take some time to load up then it's likely to be a working link, if it loads real quick it's probably a dead one.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, too. LOL.

Ok if I pull and database some/all of this stuff (automatically) would you guys want to me to create a new forum for this archive or just roll it into the current forum. I am leaning towards a new forum given the volume but if a post gets new responses it might be better to integrate them.

Same question goes towards Antenna's forum.

Just planning next years forum work.

Archive it on a seperate and let people create new threads (or move them over here if they get active again)

imho =)

I've actually downloaded and PDFed Antenna's entire site over the past few months (just in case), so I got your back on that one.

Do you have a good, free programs that can download websites to do that?

I have archived the 438 threads I could recover from Archive.org in a zip file.

http://games.juhlin.com/files/Archive_net_backup.zip

The site looks like it has a lot more but many are duplicates, missing or dead.

4519 links -> 1162 threads -> 438 live pages.

I will try again in a week to see if any of the missing/dead resurrect themselves. I am doubtful but I will give it a chance.

After I have confirmed that I have pulled all I can I will load these threads into another forum called "Archives". That way they will be searchable. If a thread gets bumped I will move it to the main forum. I will probably pull Ant's forum as well so we can keep a majority of useful data in one searchable location.

I will also skim through the MIA thread names and try to compile a list for possible topics of interest.

Edit
Boy as I got through these files I see a lot of names which are still MIA on this board. Another project for next year. Tracking down as many of our older users as I can.
