Do it. The Terms of Service specifically say we have both a right and an obligation to back up the forums, and I'm not willing to got through another platform change without an archived copy of the content.
As for pageviews, well, we have over 145000 currently left in the contribution bank, and while I don't think they're likely to get exhausted I can refresh that at any time.
I'd suggest filtering out the threads that got blanked in the crash ten years or so ago to save on pageviews, but honestly, you'd need to view the page anyway to know the thread's been blanked, so don't worry about it. If we have to restore the content here or elsewhere, we'll filter them out then.
Thank you, Akhani. That's one less worry off my mind.
