the download is possible indeed...and the files are in .html format! now! the only issue would be figuring out how to bring ALL 20K files over to a new forum...hmmmmm, from my point of view! the only way would be posting them again! with the replies and all -_- ...am still digging around on how to do that! but backing up now isn't an issue! the whole process could be done in about a week time! i know it takes too long! but thats the identification process...it take a while! right now i've identified 20070 files...and only 2666 have been explored for validity! which means the process found 20K files...and now exploring them for "downloadable" content...or at least to download the raw file "unidentified" so far it has taken about 2 hours to complete those tasks! so far the biggest file size was 18MB which am sure is the file download section! and the smallest was 8byte...lmao! am guessing the total download could be around 1-2GB :D
