Here's an idea
So from what I understand, this board is supposed to be an unofficial replacement for the defunct OT forum from HWC. And I also understand that the powers-that-be at HWC were consulted regarding this and they decided to allow it.
Since there is already an opened line of communication between this board and HWC, is it possible that they might be talked into turning over the files from the OT forum? They're UBB, they should have an entire directory of CGI and HTML files, that make of the HWC OT forum. Just closing the forum doesn't delete the files. They probably moved them, but unless they really deleted them, they might still exist.
Being able to get ahold of those files and import them here would give a good backlog of old stuff, much of it good, much of it admittedly not so good. I doubt HWC would actually give up those files, but I'm just suggesting somebody at least try, because you don't know until you try. What do you think?
