Hello, I've got what seems to be a doozy in my inexperienced mind.
I have a forum on the site proboards that I used to use all the time years ago, and it's absolutely jam-packed with memories that I want to hold onto, for both the purposes of reminiscing, as well as reference material for a novel I am writing. I have been lucky so far, in that the site is still standing without any input for years on end, however, I fear there may be a chance that luck could run out at some point and leave me in a seriously rough spot.
I want to archive the information of the entire forum for this purpose, however, from the little I've seen, my only options so far seem to be using the wayback machine's archive feature to only capture a single page at a time, which would take ages of work, even if I were to narrow down the pages to just ones that may relate to my interests and needs, and even then, hindsight might bite me in the rear if I neglect to pick a certain page I might need later.
Is there such a way for me to archive the entire forum at once and store its contents on a drive or something? I do happen to have access to the founder of the forum, whom also has full access to it, if that helps at all.
Thank you very much for any and all advice.
