As a low-level administrator, I am (in theory) able to download a SQL
dump of the data. Sadly, the provided admin interface is unable to move
the amount of data required. The next obvious choice is to login to the
machine in question and directly dump the data from the backend DB. Only
one person is able to do that.
My solution was to use httrack to walk the forum and grab a dump as
though I was a web browser. This later solution is the worst solution,
but it is the only one I had.

Definetly agree on that, what would be the steps to get the database
from the server?

I took an 8 GB dump by crawling the site in September. I think
that it has as much spam as content in that dump. I think that I
grabbed roughly 250K threads. If I had more time, I would write
some scripts to assist cleaning up the spam, but that is
especially difficult from an HTML dump that links some of the
files together. I started looking at the data, but, it really is
not the way to attempt to obtain clean data. Would be better if we
could grab the DB level stuff and migrate to a static site.

there,
even if the site is held as a static site.

least to get some kind of plain browsable dump of the

Regards.
There was some discussion on the AOO private list, but I
am not on that
list. I was copied for some of the stuff. Since I have
heard nothing, my
guess is that the owner has been non-responsive.
I attempted to perform a data dump, but that failed
because there is a
limit to the size I can pull through the interface and
compression is
disabled.
