Yes! This is very important! I travel a lot and it would be great to have the forum accessable all the time.

lol.

A CD is a good idea. Bet there are lots of posts that have been lost forever. On the other hand, do we really want some of our posts saved for posterity?

Sorry, I have nothing constructive to add.. :oops:

Of course we could hope andre soon releases the new code archive. It seems to have some really nice features.

The german PureBoard-Archive is aviable as a Database-Backup with a viewer(coded by NicTheQuick). Maybe they can do the same with the english board.

Would be better to use a database backup, the bandwidth will explode if everyone does a such thing (and it will really impact the server performances).

Yes that makes the most sense to me. Then again I've got an Apache/Php/Mysql/phpBB server on my LAN. It would be easy to set up the forums by restoring from the database backup. A very valuable resource when there are Internet blackouts for whatever reason.
