There's this forum whose founder has decided to close down. I fear that he will delete it on Sunday. He does not want to give the admin account to someone else. So my question is, is there a way to download the forum, threads, and posts?

Software is available on the web for that if you search for it eg. http://www.httrack.com/ Smile

You can then save it to your PC for offline browsing :wouhou:

What settings would I have to use to download just posts and images? Cuz using HTTrack, it also downloads pages linked by posts which are outside the forums.

Erm, the forum won't run otherwise without a admin.

However, try what the others said.
