As long as there's a backup of the database, then there's always a way of viewing the content, even if someone has to jury rig something to do it.
Somehow I've been living in a box and hadn't realised Yahoo had deleted all their Groups, so we have actually recently lost 2 historic Oddworld communities from the 90s/very early 00s: Exoddus Club and the Oddworld Group/In Oddworld We Trust.
Sometimes, browsing the Wayback Machine a lot makes me feel like I can just pop back in time and grab some backups real quick, but it turns out I can't.
