::I somehow doubt Admin got a copy of the forum so I think it's now lost to the sands of time. It would have been handy if he did, but taking screen shots is likely our best way forward. I like the idea about making them collapsible, that will save space. -- [[User:Imperial Empire|Imperial Empire]] ([[User talk:Imperial Empire|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Imperial Empire|contribs]]) 04:40, August 5, 2019 (UTC)

::It's also worth exploring the extent to which the contents of the old Invision forum have been saved via the Wayback Machine, and other internet archive services. I have to imagine some of the old forum has been swept up in the Wayback Machine—there are 6,751 individual pages saved under the main branch "http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/"—even if individual alliance forums might be truly be lost forever. --[[User:FuturePerfected|FuturePerfected]] ([[User talk:FuturePerfected|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/FuturePerfected|contribs]]) 03:57, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

:::I had a brief look at the Wayback Machine but there's only 30 entries on there and from what I can tell most of those are the logo image. I'm not sure what other internet archive sites there might be that could have captured it but I think that the chances of retrieving anything usable from them unfortunately might be slim to none. -- [[User:Imperial Empire|Imperial Empire]] ([[User talk:Imperial Empire|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Imperial Empire|contribs]]) 02:56, August 29, 2019 (UTC)
 
 
::::Do you know if there have been any attempts at doing an Oral History of CN, with various folks from 2006 and 2007? It might also be worth approaching the oldest alliances still around—I'm thinking NPO, NpO, IRON, etc.—and seeing if there are screenshots of the most important missing declarations floating around on the oldest parts of their forums.
