In case the internet gets shut down
 

I am not the most computer literate person so I have a question. Is there a way to save/download whole forums. Between this forum and a few others I would love to find a way to do this. Thanks in advance.

One easy way would be to Highlight, Copy and Paste good stuff to the bottom of a series of word processor documents organized by topic. Call it an e-scrapbook project. Store it on a Jumpdrive or other portable media. If you burn to CDs, use a reputable brand, because not all of them use proper magnetic oxide, and the quality can degrade after a couple of years.

I like to print editorials for ease of reading. I used to throw them out, but now keep them in binders. Printed records last longer than electronic media. Family albums and other historical documents deserve protection.

The best way would be to have a copy of the database. And I asked like a year ago if it would be possible to get a copy, but since it contains usernames, passwords and ip addresses of everyone here the short answer was "no"

Apprently there is software available to save whole websites [size dependant] as I have used one before.It won't update of rewrite data,it is a once only type of thing,but could be handy as storage device.If you are intersted,I will try to find the name of the programme,and aprently it can be downloaded directly. lemme know...

I'm not 100% sure if it works on sql based forums like this one, but you may as well give it a shot. For everything I've ever backed up, it's worked perfectly. I've never archived a forum though.
