I've written a script which spiders phpBB forums and extracts all posts, users, and forums into database tables. It even does a so-so job at converting the HTML back into BBCode. It then has a front-end for the database, and it can be searched too using MySQL Fulltext index.

Would you like to run that into a database on one of my machines so we can see about creating something off-site, and if it looks good and clean, we can see about how to get it into 68kmla?

Sure. Where would the HTML pages come from? Are they in a local directory, or somewhere on the web?

Make a second archive. Truly, all that data is invaluable. I would be willing to set up an extra server at my house in NJ which we go on only the weekends. The server would be a BW G3.

and if you cant get it back into form, ive got quite a few scripts that will redo all the links in a static html spider dump so you can rehost it anywhere you want (including locally, which is not really a requirement here...) , I did this quite a lot back when I was mirroring the SecondLife scripting wiki (every 3 months)
