Are the oldest forums from the earlier incarnations of DU archived somewhere to look at?

I was here from the earliest days, first under a different account. I would love to browse a little. Plus, maybe I could remember what my handle was back then by stumbling onto it if I'm damn lucky...

I tried the Wayback Machine, but it only archived selected pages, and none were the forums. I wondered if they are here somewhere or if they were more or less disposed of.

I don't think the DU1 archives have worked since the last server upgrades. Make7 Mar 2016 #2

At least all the addresses I try return an HTTP 500 Error.

You should probably ask in ATA to see if they copied the DU1 database or not. And if so, see if they can track down the server issue preventing the retrieval of the pages.
