Oh that's great to have! The challenge with that site is that no snapshot is complete. Almost like there should be a kind of composite created that includes as much as possible.
Unless the site still exists in some form offline?

Well I, of course, have offline copies of all non-forum static pages, scripts, css, includes, etc.. Just never made a final tar zipped backup of the forum database before closure. Probably have one from a year or two prior, but that's not sharable due to legal/ethical reasons.
Edit: guess last database backup was 2012 lol Didn't do often since was a pain (time & file size) & not really useful.

There was an online forum I frequented for many years, Lycaeum.org (RIP), that had to move a couple of times. What they did was maintain links in their current site to the older instances, for continuity and what-not. Maybe some special part of this site should be built just for that. Using what you have, Archive.org, etc.

The MySQL database is specific to the URL, forum software & even version oftentimes (db formatting) used (vB). So would need the domain, current or matching software license, server & telnet access (hosting expenses) to install scripts, etc. That's not even getting into the legal rights & permissions problems & issues. Basically it's a non-starter.
