You should upload the backup to Archive.org

  If the site had ongoing problems with CP, I really can't imagine that the Internet Archive would be willing to host its content either.

    Ah. I didn't realize the site had that kind of content. Burn it with fire.

      Given the parent's description of the site as being "hammered" by inappropriate content (not just CP); the fact that the site was real-time, so older content could easily slip under the radar; and the fact that it was shut down abruptly -- chances are that any archive of the site would probably still contain a significant amount of illegal and/or objectionable material. Honestly, even just the shock content and (legal) pornography would probably get a hard "no" from the Archive. They really don't want to be seen as a source for adult content.

    I second this. It was already offensive at the time, but now just 10 years later, much of the stuff did age really poorly. It went 4chan levels really fast, including racism, sexism, sharing of personal information (without consent) incl those of public figures (there was one video of some person licking a dog’s... “thing”) And it got worse and worse every day. Also note that most of it wasn’t english. It was not an international community, the site was dutch, but that didn’t stop people from joining and posting weird shit in all kinds of languages.
