The EZBoards are back on the Wayback Machine!

[Q-Nova]

I agree that it would be wise to download our own version of this archive, just in case this disappears again. I'm not sure whether there's an easy, automated way to scrape these archives. Keep me posted!

Looking back at some past MFGG posts (in this forum), I found an article @Mario linked to that has info and tools for backing up stuff that's on the Wayback Machine: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Restoring

He especially recommended this tool, which is linked in that article: https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader

I think the question is how should the backup be presented. There are many threads left unarchived; do we still list those (perhaps labelled in some form as missing)? Which skin do we use? I like the iconic, classic red skin, but the blue skin is newer. Should we present as if it were an old forum set to read-only mode (e.g. archive.mfgg.net) or as a list of all the discussions that were preserved? (If it was the latter, then I'd use the red skin for older topics and the blue skin for newer topics.)
