Click on the old news button on the front page

Speaking of which, is there some archived version of the forums for posterity? Even if in the form of a raw vb database?

Though it hasn't been updated in some time :| Easiest to just search the news forum for newstuff.

Interesting.

In the hope that I might be able to find more /newstuffs missing from myk's list, I wrote a short script to download all the news pages in sequence, and grepped the list. Was the /newstuff "counter" reset at some point? There seem to be two "/newstuff #50"s, for example.

EDIT: There seems to be a very odd numbering discrepancy between what appears in the "followupgen.php3" links and what appears in the "topstory.php" links; the "topstory" #50 linked above is here without a number. However, "topstory" newstuff #54 appears here as #52. Similarly, "topstory" newstuff #53 is #51 and so on ...
