    Boards is backed up onto a few floppy* disks incase something goes to sheet (which happened a few months ago as far as I can remember). :)


    *may not be true.

    It's a pretty essential part of any major database centric software application if they value the data. If something goes wrong, you'll only loose 1 day's worth of posts as opposed to a week or a month or a year! :)

    The entirety of boards will actually compress down to the size of 1 double density floppy disk, it's pretty incredible.
