So erm... there's no link? Or is there the old forums address?

[director]

The text in this, I believe, was copied from a backup post from the previous forum. So if it makes no sense that's why.

[Vampire]

Right. Roger that. Thanks for clearing things up.

So there's no way we can retrieve anything from the old forums?

[director]

At the moment the answer is no.

I have never had access to the host where the old forums were, and I'm told the file for a db backup is perhaps very large and if its as large as I suspect, transferring in any form is problematic. For now, We will have to make due with what we have. I do have a forum scrape, from a few months ago that I'll try to grab some data from, but I don't know how deep it goes. Any recovery is going to be a very slow process, either way.

I am unsure what version the old forums were but the following might help for someone that has some spare time to play with this:
