We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have a forum I used to post on that is on its last legs. It's gotten so bad most images haven't been loading. There is a ton of history I need to save as the info in said forum doesn't exist elsewhere.

I emailed the admin but no response yet as it appears to be tied to the forum's domain name.

So I turn to you: How to preserve a forum running SMF 1.1.21?
