Hey, thought I post it here as well, if you want to access the archived copy of the forum, you can do that here:
I will publish the raw archived data after October (No point in doing that before the forum actually goes down) for anyone interested. The site is using the same URL structure, so you can just change bhvr.com to deadbyqueue.com in any forum link and you will be able to access the post even after the forum goes dark.

Hey, if anyone interested you can access the archive version of the forum here:
I did ended up just making it a site, I will still publish the raw archived data after October (No point before the forum actually goes down, because I will be updating the archived data). I am adhering to the same URL structure, so after the forum goes down you can just change bhvr.com to deadbyqueue.com in the link and you will be able to access the post.

Oh good! I'm so glad you're stepping up when BHVR have made it very clear they'd rather just chuck it all down the memory hole.
I have a spreadsheet where I've been saving the links to all the stuff that I've uploaded to the Wayback Machine so far. Just by typing keywords into the forum search bar and seeing what comes back. I know it's an inefficient, scattershot approach and would be a tiny drop in the ocean in terms of all the discussions that we've had over the years, but so far I've uploaded things like memorial tributes, representative examples of frequent talking points, the big events that got the community talking, discussions including community managers etc. Maybe I'm only really saving the things that I personally find interesting or worthy, but I felt that was better than absolutely nothing (though to be fair, the world probably doesn't need 100+ nearly identical discussions about camping/tunnelling/slugging to be saved). It was more about trying to preserve the essence of the forums (the good, the bad and the ugly) so that any curious future DBD players could see what it was like.
Anyway, I'll keep doing what I'm doing and I'll upload the spreadsheet to the Internet Archive when the forums are finally gone. Then I'll share the link to it over on the unofficial Fog-Dwellers forum.
That is a really nice effort :)

@dangersmymidd1ename is working on this as well. Might want get in touch
Hey, thanks, but I am pretty much done already, there is a small (10%) amount of comments that I am still downloading. The discussions have been done since yesterday and just finished downloading all attachment / media (140 GB) that was uploaded directly to the forum.
To avoid confusion I will only upload it online (I will post about it on the official reddit and on www.deadbyqueue.com ) and make it a torrent when the forum is fully down, because I will keep updating the archive with the future comments and discussions from now til the end of October when the site goes dark.
The only thing that will be missing are the posts and comments from the past PTB feedback and PTB bug reporting categories, because those are not accessible anymore sadly (Currently if you are logged in you can access the 10.2.0 PTB Feedback category, if you are logged out you can access the 10.2.0 PTB Fedback, 9.2.0 PTB Bug Reproting and 8.3.0 Bug PTB Reporting categories). After the shutdown I will backfill whatever PTB posts and comments I can get from archive.org, but the majority will be missing, because they can't be accessed for normal users.
Edit: Til I was typing the comments were also finished.

Hey, thought I comment it here as well (I did bump into the other thread already), I am archiving all posts, comments and any media that was uploaded to the site (So discord, imgur etc are excluded) and will update the archive until the forum shuts down. After it is fully down and no more posts can be made, I will share it online and make a torrent in case people want to seed it.

Hey, randomly bumped into this thread, I did archive the current state of the forum (Only the posts and comments at this point, but I am planning to store the media hosted here as well) and will update the archive it before the forum gets shutdown. After it is fully down (So nothing more can be posted) I'll post it online and make a torrent in case people want to seed it.
