Evil Trout said it would be very difficult to restore the forums to their former state, but did say it would take about an hour (which he didn’t have at the time) to retrieve the raw data. If he could be persuaded when he’s less busy, and if the data is still available, klan leaders could just be given this data, then they could choose what to do with it themselves e.g. discard the crap and repost anything that’s interesting or useful. Theoretically w/ disclaimers and such.
