I got excited this morning when I got a Jan 2011 copy of the old site up on the internet waybackmachine but of course there being no SQL copy in waybackmachine I could not access any of the posts I could see or user details

It was a service that archived website, so any website with static pages (with no database) and was popular you can normally look back at, as forum's use a DB then no chance of looking at the content unforitunately.

This is the last snapshot of the site, Jan 2011 (I think the server that hosts that archive is down at the moment, but you can look later) there are also some old versions of the site going a few years back.
