« Last post by aListers on February 15, 2020, 12:28:42 AM »Well, I guess it's been a good run. As soon as I heard news of Helvetica passing I backed up my posts so I'm at no loss of history here. My dream diary is safe. That being said, I will be personally backing up my own topics on lettyjournal anyway - they're a good indication of what I thought about my life at the time. I don't want to lose any personal history of mine.
This website has had a huge impact on me as a person. From my dreams of Alice and Gensokyo to the somewhat biased political discussions we had, I've loved my time here. I really needed this place to be able to keep track of the brightest light of my life at a dark time - and while that light may now be put out, I will never forget it and the time I spent chasing it. Thank you to everybody who put up with my creepy and wierd postings on this fourm in my time here. I've cherished every positive message I've recieved on here and wish all the people here the best! Cheers to MoTK! May Touhou and Gensokyo live on forever!

I don't see such a feature.
It seems there's a handful of people working on scraper scripts, thank you all for the work.

Nonetheless, as sad as it is, I hope that everyone affected by this will find the strength to get through these trying times, I am certain they lost a great friend and family member.

« Last post by WindyKitsune on February 14, 2020, 10:05:13 PM »Ok so I did some research, did some digging and actually have created a local instance of Simple Machine Forums 2.0.15. I have found out that, by default the fresh out of the box SMF has database backup enabled. I am unsure if it was disabled at one point but only people who have Forum Administrator rank can do this. It actually allows an administrator to Download the database as an SQL file with a sequence of commands to restore the data on another site. (Also full disclosure, I tracked down the old ModernDark64 theme on the Wayback Machine and used it for the local instance for nostalgia reasons. This is entirely only accessible within my local area network.)
MoTK > Admin Center > Forum Maintenance > Database
The steps are screenshots below:
Like i said, i have no idea if it was actually enabled for those who have Administrator role, but if it is there no root access to the server platform is actually required to get the database. However this does not account for the other wikis that exist on this server.
That's very good news, at the end there is a simple way to make a full content backup of the forum.
