@Cody: Is it possible to get a copy of one of the backups? There’s so much history tied up in the boards, if we can at least extract and host a read-only version somewhere that would be useful.
@phkb I presume that Giles is upset about the loss of his posts on the board over the years.
Where should we regroup for the moment?
Here? Reddit? Discord? Our wiki? (Is there anywhere else?)

Another option is turning on “Discussion” on GitHub. Benefit is it keeps things together. Downside is it probably can’t import any history.

No idea! However, I've been in touch with timer, who may have a solution. He's contacted Giles.

Looks like wayback tried to archive it on the 22nd Feb. Of course it was all hiccups then, so a lot of it is not there.
Digging around, there's quite a lot in older snapshots, but you have to massage the links a bit and re-search.
Hope the DB can be recovered, 'cos wayback is no answer 😐
I looked a little - it won't be an "easy walk"...
Forum data is NOT lost! All recovered.
We'll return our bb soon.
Sir Timer,
This will be the second time that you will have saved our bacon (if you can pull it off!).
More power to your elbows! (not to mention your knuckles!).
Forum data is NOT lost! All recovered.
Sweet!

There are some problems with sending - an error is received from the server, although the post itself is published. I didn’t want to write here until I fixed it)
