Where are old forum archives?

Where are the archives of the old (before current version) Adobe forums? I am looking for posts from around 2 years ago that were either in the InDesign or InDesign Scripting forums. I desperately need some script code that someone provided me (that was lost with a system reformat). I have posted a request regarding it in the Scripting forum, but haven't gotten a response yet.

I was hoping that the archives of the old forums are available someplace so that I could search for it.

Thanks.

    I understand. Thanks for your time. I no longer need the help with this as

    Harbs has provided me with a script that works for what I had been looking

    for. I appreciate your help.


    Was it a Dave Saunders script, perhaps? My archive turned this up, even though it's rather more than three years old:

    I believe content from April 4 2006 onward is available in the forums,

    though you might need Google to find it as the builtin search of this

    forum lacks the documentation to make powerful searches.

    Thank you. I have been trying to search both in the forum search (it seems

    it only gives an option to search back to 2008) and in Google without luck.

    I was hoping for some way to search for the post(s) using my user name

    (which is different in the old forums than the new) but can't find a way to

    do that.

    The issue doesn't have a specific enough term in it to enable me to find it

    otherwise (so it seems).

    I have downloaded a complete set of all the forum messages that are

    available in the system to a local database. If you can give me your

    previous username I should be able to create a dump of every message the

    system has that was ever posted under that username later this week (as

    long as it isn't "newsgroup user").
