Barbie had a forum backup from January 24th, 2003 which he just sent me. There are several options here with what to do with the data:

1) Don't attempt to integrate it with the new forum. Just post it elsewhere and leave it at that, read-only, somewhere.

2) Integrate it with the new forum and dump all the posts into one forum like "OMM and Caltrops History" or something.

3) Try to matchup the forum ID number with the original post with the forum ID we have currently and get everything directly added to our database and keep dates preserved.

I'll try to pick the best solution and implement the transfer. I'll provide some warning if I take the forum down while trying to integrate something.

I vote #2, especially seeing as there's soon to be a search engine. FWIW, YMMV, HTH, HAND.
