Speaking of the archives, I really need to get ahold of Weltall about those so I can dive head first into those things... swimming around in the memories.
You know, when this all comes to fruition, it'll be a pretty amazing thing to suddenly see some of the forums jump up to, what, the several hundred thousand thread mark? That page selecting thingy will just rocket off the right side of the screen. It'll be fun.
But, to TRULY experience the past in all it's glory, we'll need Laser Link and Lord Shockwave to help out. I think lazy was also there at the time. That is, before even I was here, there was the mailing thingy. Apparently that's where eyetot boy came from or something, and if anyone from that time still has those mailing archived, we could use them and make a single forum with that whole mailing converted to dated threads for each "mailbag" or whatever. That would make our restoration project an ultimate success. Failing this, then simply restoring it to TC's earliest incarnation as a message board will still be a great move. I'm just saying if we CAN restore those somehow, it would be welcome.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
