My internet coming-of-age was between 2000 and 2008, and I was happy to learn that all the forums I used to frequent are now kaput, with no public archives. It's always a bit of a shame to lose historical documents, but who knows what embarrassing comments I'm now free of forever. (And don't worry, my mortifying preteen Super Mario RPG fanfiction yet survives in personal backups.)

Never fear, most of those phpBB and ubb forums got breached and no doubt a database dump survives somewhere on a torrent ;)

That is very oddly specific. Hello, fellow old school SMRPG fan.
