Download or backup entire forum?

This forum was put up way back in 2007/2008ish. The community disbanded unfortunately in 2011 but the site remains up. Aside from the creator `SNΞΔKY_[QS] I ([QS]_Collin) have the most administrative power (I only lack the ability to delete the forum.)

I want to back up or download this forum for offline viewing because I know somehow some way in the future the site will go offline for lack of activity or ProBoards shutting down someday. I already lost my XFIRE history because the email I used was inactive. This is all I have left of my glory days with my friends in Halo PC.

I need to somehow back this up, if you can't help me I will have to rely on 3rd Party tools.

HI

Unfortunately, it is not possible to down a copy of the whole forum. Although you can get a copy of all your posts via the Export Member Data function in your Account Settings:

www.proboards.com/account/settings

For other posts you would need to manually save the webpage, or copy and paste against. I would recommend against using a 3rd party tool as these will likely - through their behaviour - trigger the system's firewall and get blocked along with your IP.

Sorry that it may not be the response you were hoping for.
