You gotta sign in with your old account

Thanks. Is there no other way? I never had an old account but would like to go digital exploring.
Not at this time, no. Archives are only accessible only to those with a previous account

That's the way it is now, if you try accessing VNN from Germany. I get through, by signing up with proton.me's e-mail service where you could then click on TOR and then access interfered-with sites, including Russian Television (RT)
The archives are borked for some reason. Im gonna reinstall vBullshit over there when I get the time

It should stay that way. Anyone who doesn't have an old Phora account that wants to poke around the old site probably has bad intentions.

What could those be, given that the site is closed? At best, the archive could get used as a public library

One thing that could be done if the maintenance of the vBulletin forum gets to be too much of a hassle -- being that OW does this basically as a charity and stuff like this is time-consuming -- is that you could dump the table of posts from the MySQL schema into a plain text archive. This could also be put on a server and password protected so that only our little circle could look at it. It's pretty ghetto as far as solutions go, but it's better than nothing. And it's pretty simple compared with some of the other options.

If you do that, the posts won't be organized into threads, they'll be strict chronological jumping from thread to thread.
I'm for restoring old content. I can't see the current vbulletin version, but I think even that is missing posts from the original.
There's a legacy of some great trolling in the circle of crust history.

You could probably categorise them by threads if you did it properly. The best would be to keep the forums up, of course, but maintenance has been a troublesome point for years.

I will be publishing the 'alternative archives' that @kanethenotorious gratefully provided, at some point.
The main hold up here is I'd like to do so using an older version of PHP (I have an appropriate platform that can do PHP5 allegedly but haven't tested it) in a context that relates to Web3, not limping along with Web2.5 and such hoasting/censorship issues. Taking the last VB5 version and similarly publishing is likely to be harder and would take discussion here before I would undertake the project (or someone else).
If that is not possible I'll simply do an update of them.
I'm very interested in what sort of enhancements the membership here would like to see, as the suggestion of @Charles Silvius Haddock above. I will be doing the same to _Previous Dissent_ archives, likely first, so feedback at that time would be appropriate, before proceeding with the other archive project related to the Phora.
My key concept here in a one sentence elevator pitch: 'Translating Web 2.5 to Web 3 will require proper Semantic Web software in the middle'. I intend to prove that, and show future curators of the Crust how. Follow https://github.com/macrobius primarily the KitsapSearch project but to a lesser extent the Encyclopedia project. Remember that I like wikis for documentation in anger.
In the meantime, have a static web/gamification/Mr Jefferson's Library sort of entertainment:

Macrobius or/& Kane the Notorious,
Might it be feasible to facilitate access to those erstwhile PMs, so as to enable the retrieval of a veritable trove of past private communications?
I hold in particularly high esteem my various colloquies with such illustrious personages as Helios Panoptes & Banjo Billy (both deceased--allegedly), among others, and their restoration would be a boon of inestimable value to me.
There also exists an abundance of these epistolary exchanges which, alas, I had not even read; much in the same vein as some of my current correspondences that still await my undivided attention.
Thus, any endeavours to make these accounts accessible would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Lord Osmund de Ixabert XXXIII

If you bring back the database and install the software, you can bring back the pms with the database. Otherwise you can directly query the database to get the pms (a sys admin would have to do it).

I am in possession of the full database extracted from the Lyceum hack.
The only thing preventing me from uploading it: the minor inconvenience of its current location, a rather considerable distance of approximately 350 miles. I was hoping you had kept it, as the prospect of retrieving this HDD appears rather remote for the foreseeable future.
(I refuse to rely on the precarious means of postal conveyance. The entrusting of such invaluable things to the caprices of epistolary delivery would be an act of recklssness.)

I have a lyceum backup on ftp that is probably it or some variant of it (such as a mybb version of the lyceum). It probably has all the posts and pms. I also have free media productions backups - and those fmp backups restored the lyceum posts.
