Old Forum unavailable

[Grant Bowker]

I was looking for information on the Penguin snowmobile series and the C8AX recently and Google turned up links to the old forum. Clicking the link got me the following:

"Sorry...
This Network54 forum has been disabled due to a breach of the Network54 User Agreement by the owner of this forum.

Network54 does not allow forums that contain or contain links to nudity, sex, pornography, illegal activities, unauthorized use or distribution of copyrighted material(s) (including 'warez' boards), mail fraud and pyramid schemes, hatred and racism of any kind, guns or firearms, or any other material that may be deemed libelous or offensive to another individual or organization."

Have others gotten the same nonsense when trying to access old postings?
If the problem isn't how I'm trying to access the forum, what is the alleged problem? Did someone mention a weapon in a favourable sense? Or mention that they liked ladies? Or some other indiscretion against the thought police?

Leaving aside the question of why, is there a way to access the mine of information in the old forum?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
