Alright, here's one that's probably not really needed: http://qb45.blarg.ca/
I say "not really needed" because http://qb45.org/ exists. Though I'm unsure who is running that, so figured I'd put up this copy of how qb45.com looked when Jofers and I ran the show briefly. We both put a loooot of effort into the custom scripts, forum and design. The whole Bigfoot theme was funny and pretty unique (100% Jofers idea and design!). I cannot speak for Jofers since I don't think he and I ever talked about it in retrospect, but even though this iteration of qb45.com was short lived, I got a real sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from it... especially after the whole PostNuke disaster.
The only backup I could find of this version of the site was from August 31, 2005, which is about a year before VonGodric took over as site admin. If I took another backup of the site before the hand-over, I cannot find it.
Thankfully this site was much easier to restore and get running again on PHP 7 due to the fact that the code was much, much, much cleaner and better tested. And it wasn't spammed to hell by bots, so no 1000's of junk posts to clean up.
As with the qbrpgs.com backup previously linked, this site has all create/update/delete functionality disabled and is as such in 100% read-only mode.
Enjoy the trip down memory lane!
