Well, there should be a backup.
[17:08:37] <ruaok> chirlu: we have backups from the forums from June 13.
[17:08:49] <ruaok> what should I do with them?
[17:11:23] <ruaok> I have a tar file when/if you’re ready for it
[17:11:53] <ruaok> ideally if we can nuke any emails that might be present in it and stick it into a container, it would be easy to host with MB
(From #metabrainz, 2016-11-11).
If I can get access to it, I can try making a docker container to host them, but it won’t be high priority (I’d still like to see it done sooner than later).
