Hi,

Yes, we did the script (actually I wrote most of it).

I have been asked a few times about it before but I haven't actually provided it to anyone by now. Mostly because it was written for internal company use only and (as it is at the moment) isn't at all suitable for the public.

I mean if you want to use it on your site, you will have to make many changes to the code by hand (changes to paths, some other parts of the code..). Also it is a beta (if not alpha) software and there is no guarantee it will work flawlessly for you, although it seems to work pretty well with this forum. Also there isn't any documentation about it written- there aren't even many comments in the code itself. I can only give you some basic instructions.

So I can send it to you but please note that you will be completely on your own with it and we will not provide any support for it. Also I can give it to you only if you agree to use it for your personal needs only and don't (re)distribute it in any way- as I said, at the moment it is not suitable at all for the general public.

Please let me know if you still would like to have it.

PS: If anyone else needs the phpBB-Archiver tool and agrees to the above (sort of) terms, please contact me personally by email. Thanks!
