I want to say that I read that someone DID backup the old forums, but I haven't been able to find anything online.
Can anyone confirm if they did or happen and have a link they could post?
I had a story I posted there that I'm missing parts of and I'm hoping to recover it.
Here ya go! :)

The archive team made a separate backup around October last year.
I've made a quick grab in last 24 hours too.

Yyyyyyyup, that they did (https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-city-of-heroes-main).
Feel like downloading 219 GB?
Alternatively, it seems that the above is available in split parts, right here. (https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-city-of-heroes-forums-megawarc-1)
However I have no clue what this "MegaWARC" is in the title of the second link.

Thanks for the link. Ah, if only I could search.. :D
Wahoo!
Took better than an hour of searching but I found the story!
(I had done a massive archiving of my own when the closing was announced, but it turned out I had missed some vital lines of text in the copy and pasting I was doing at the end.)
