The End of Shrinemaiden As We Know It
Lebon14:
Can an admin make the login only forums and subforums visible for everybody so we can preserve them?
Thanks.
EDIT:
To be more precise, I'd love to archive, with Wget, the Rules section, Nuclear Furnace, the Caf? and Daiyousei's Cold Storage and all their subforums.
Additionally, I'd love to be able to get the profiles of posters too.
I can do this by injecting my cookies into Wget and get a "logged in" page but that would be I would have to archive all reply/Edit/preview/etc pages for every forums/subforums, threads and posts which slows down the process a whole lot.
DX7.EP:
I'm going to hazard that we've until 22 April at latest to do any backups, going by the mention of the domain registration.
If so there will be quite a bit to archive here, mostly old stuff from Genji's Battle Arena where TF2 and Minecraft servers were run and active once upon a time. Some of their contents continue to remain relevant in one spinoff clique.
Aside from that and the 2013 Guilty Alice stuff, I don't know if I'd back up any of my other things.... :V
Agent of the BSoD:
This is pretty unfortunate, but given mentions from the staff here that they could only work on so much stuff on the forum, it's not a big surprise. I'll get to work on backing up what is important to me. Also I guess MotK v3 will be a good time to make a fresh guide on the PC-98 emulators.
CapTengu:
Godspeed, everyone. I'll miss all of the fanfictions and guides posted here.

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.)

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.
