Way to access old DT's forums information

[finzeo]

Hi! Recently, I was very interested in reading detailed analysis about DT stuff on forums. Particularly, I was interested in read analyzes of the first years of the forum (it gives me the feeling that I would see very interesting things, for example, from albums like SFAM, which are no longer accessible). Is there any way to access the information of those forums that no longer exist?

NOTE: I tried to use archive.org, but it doesn't have full snapshots (when trying to access many posts, it shows that they were not saved)

If someone from the forums gives you access to older forum data, make sure you check out the Rebecca Black days of the forum.

You may want to have a look here:

It's an archive of the Ytsejam mailing list, which ran from 1993 to 2004 or so.

There are some cool messages by the band. And, you can see how the A Change of Seasons EP came about.

Holy shit what a blast from the past this is. Before my time, but I can recognize the old internet here.

        If you think so then why did you take the time and effort
to search out the Ytsejam mailing list and to determine what its
purpose is? If they really are that bad then you just wasted
your time in the worst way: on another waste of time.
        I'm not sure if you are aware of AOL's overall reputation
among the more respectable denizens of the Internet, but thank
you graciously for strengthening it.

Funny though how some things stay the same. You pull up the archives from what FII and SFaM came out, they read like DTF threads.

Yooooo, thanks for this! This was a fantastic way to distract myself at work yesterday. I was surprised at so much of the disappointment expressed at the release of Awake. It was well before my time, but I'm sure it seemed like quite a departure from the I&W sound, especially with so few other releases to contextualize it with.
