Update #2 18/APRIL/2019:
Currently, the main forums' website (forum.sa-mp.com) pipeline has downloaded 30GB and 1.3 million links/pages (this includes some external pages, images and the like) with at least another 2.5 million links to go. Due to the 6 workers being detected as using up much bandwidth and resources, the pipeline workers have been IP banned. Currently this is being worked on as this archive was started before big profiles were deleted.
Since then, we also started and have successfully completed an archive for http://forum.sa-mp.com/archive. This was done in the meanwhile as it was much less likely to receive any bans. It is very compact and doesn't even have formatting for things like external links and text, it was far easier and far faster. The bad news is the full-scale archive of the archive version was later, after Y Less and Southclaws and the rest have been deleted from the site (and not just banned), so posts by certain people may not be recorded. While this does mean every thread has been archived, the archived version only has the important stuff and lacks a lot of formatting and website interaction.
http://forum.sa-mp.com/archive and the hundreds of thousands of links archived will be pushed to archive.org Wayback Machine in the following days. P.S., if you're visiting that version of the forums for the first time, the latest threads of sections are on the latest pages, not the first pages.
