[who is ted danson?]

I made a full site backup, minus externally hosted images, and some of the embeds like youtube and twitter show up a bit broken, but it's functional

for example here is a random thread from 2008 about somebody getting shingles with the local address visible at the top



I just don't have anywhere to host 9 gigs of files, nor the knowledge of whether it needs specific formatting to make it work as a live site instead of an archive

Does the searching work? I need this

no

but I'm sure someone could write some kind of wrapper to search through the contents of the thousands of HTML files

I'd suggest sending it to the folks running JMail and Jikipedia. They will host it. Just say its a binder of files that the FBI missed off
