Thanks to Bill, I was able to put up the old board. He emailed me the most recent version he had on his system. I modified it to include one message that was missing as well as one new message. Additionally, the 5 most recent messages that were saved under numbers that were too low were renamed.
thanks bill for thinking to keep a copy of the wwwboard & thanks victor for maintaining it. i noticed the reconstruction includes the text from a msg i posted from http://the-light.com/mens/messages/ sunday when the board was down.

I swapped it out with my message that coincidentally had the same id.
