I have a feeling that wouldn't work out well for two reasons...
1: What web-master would give a copy of a websites contents(the database) to someone freely? None that I know of.
2: For it to be usable, I would have to setup another website on my LAN with the same software we use here, or software that is compatible...
An archive is just that, an archive, nothing usable except for being able to read things.
Right now I am at about 1GB of used data, and basically only 3-4 links deep on everything, yes I would love to get a copy of the database (strip anything private out?) and host it on a private server in read-only mode for archival purposes. But I also don't have a desire to drop money on vBulletin.
This is good, but as time goes on (especially with tech) this data will become out dated..... Like how many peeps look for anything related to XP or Vista?
