Well, we have the evidence that their business model didn't seem to
consider old messages to be valuable. Forums had fixed amounts of
file storage space. Forums had limited numbers of messages - do we
know if the limit was in megabytes or in number of posts? The oldest
messages disappeared. I don't remember hearing anything about
archives of old messages.
that wasn't easily used outside of CIS's

operators kept their own stuff, but certainly many didn't.
