multiple people have archived the forums but also the same multiple people have decided against keeping those backups up to date
I don't have anything to hide on the forums besides me being cringe but it's interesting to think we're the last "lucky" ones. Going forward there will probably always be massive logs. Everything from Facebook, everything from reddit, ETC. It feels like we really hit a curve of archival that went straight up.
There are things missing from 2000-2015 but beyond that wayback has everything it feels.
