Introduction: This section hosts an archive of thousands of threads posted to the "Nirvana", "Swap Meet", "Born in a Junkyard", "Sounds of Distortion" and "Verse Chorus Verse" forums of the NFC Discussion Board. The threads date from August 5, 2000 to October 23, 2002. Each archive is fully indexed.

The threads (in html format) available in this archive are provided in ZIP files each containing roughly 1000 threads (numbered 1 to 999, 1000 to 1999 and so on). The ZIP file of all the html threads no longer contains an index as it can be downloaded here instead. The index lists all the topics with hyperlinks to them - provided you place the index file in the same directory as the proper html files. If you view the index online you can, as of January 2005, also view the threads online.

I recommend using WinZip for decompressing the ZIP files. You should be making a new directory for all your new NFC Board files - one for each forum.

The html filenames used for each forum are the same. The various images and smilies used in the threads have for the most part been cut out. Thus, you do not need to be online when reading and browsing through these threads, since they are placed on your hard drive (after downloading and decompressing the ZIP file(s)). Naturally, you cannot reply to these threads since they are no longer on the public board.

Threads #3000 through #3608 from the "Sounds of Distortion" forum were accidentally lost.

To download all index files for all forums at once, click here. If you download any of the zip archives with threads, it is recommended to get this index file as well.

Note that if you want to conduct searches in this archive, i.e. to find all threads by a specific user, you should use the search feature of the online board here. There you can search amongst all threads dating back to August 5, 2000.

Thread Counter: approx. 55,613 threads (500,000+ messages).

All threads dating from 10/23/02 till today are available on the online board.
