Looks like some of the old forum information has been archived and is available to view.

Seems to be hit or miss but parts of the old forum still survive!
Maybe a donation is warranted?

I'm not smart enough to know if SAAC can capture this data and archive it on a club server but might worth a try?
Im wondering if we can retrieve the total post numbers?
Wow, what a great find, not positive how to search it, do they have other threads too?

It's been hit or miss so far. Some threads seem to be complete and others are not available. Looks like most of the latest captures were done in 2015/2016.
Guess something is better than nothing?
Thanks for finding it. That is an epic thread. 😎
Maybe they als have the random pictures from the web thread. Would be cool if we could buy it back and load them on the new site.

Exactly, information like that needs to be saved!
It looks like a snapshot of the forum and its threads from 2014-15.
My GFs son has backups from a Poke Man forum that dates back 10 years. He was an administrator that had access to back up EVERYTHING! Im really having trouble understanding how was this precious database lost. I hope there are more Web Archive posts that are available. We will rebuild :-)
I have several URL's that I saved from the old saacforum.com on my cell phone notepad that I wanted for reference. I tried the wayback website and it states it is saved, but when I try to login, it won't. If anyone wants these URL's and can do something with them, let me know.
