Forum URL might have changed but the database didn't, so you should still be able to access older threads.

I want a backup of the original forum. Which contains all posts prior theymos moved the forum.

Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33392.0

Keep decrementing all the way down to topic=5.0.

This is the first accessible thread on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.0

And this is the last thread posted before theymos' announcement mentioning the move to bitcointalk.org: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33392.0

Anything in between should have been posted on the older forum.

You're a troll, your comment doesn't even make sense nor it is related to my initial post.

You wanted a backup. You're out of your mind if you think you're entitled to getting a copy of a backup (that is, if that still exists from 10 years ago). What I am saying is the data is right in front of you, and I don't see administration here entertaining these requests.

If you really want a "backup", create a script to crawl through every thread starting:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.0

And ending:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33392.0

Crawl through these threads and make an archive of these threads yourself. There, you got the "backup".

Does it really matter the URL is bitcoin.org or .com or bitcointalk.org? The content is same, why should it matter if the only thing you need is an archive of all the threads before the move to bitcointalk.org?

I was just trying to help you out and you're calling me a troll. You're a troll yourself man seeing as how you're getting so defensive and are making no sense. Some hidden (not so hidden now) agenda as a couple people above mentioned? Roll Eyes
