Quick dump of Raising Caster Level by psly4mne, since I noticed the guide link went to WotC.

For a list of threads that have already been mirrored, see the Index of WotC 3.X Threads. There's only 17 days left to mirror content.

Anything anyone misses, will be some where (airquotes)  in the Wayback.

But all you need is the old address.
I'm certain there's a pile of links here and at the BG site, that need supra-migrated.
Your codpiece is a mimic.

Not everything has been archived to the wayback machine. Without a person manually (or with a script?) adding the link to each individual page of each thread, things aren't backed up.

There's appx 24 hours left to mirror content.

Archives of the WotC forums
All the major 3.5 forums have been saved. i'm going to try and snag the other worlds forums today.
There's also a guy on the Gitp who says he has the entire forums save in a file . That probably could be used as the seed to build a proper online archive.

If anyone wants to work on this as well https://www.httrack.com/ is what i'm using and in the "scan limits" this set of rules has been producing the best results

Code: [Select]
-*
+community.wizards.com/forums/######*
+community.wizards.com/site*
+community.wizards.com/forum/###*
+community.wizards.com/content*

Where the top set of # is the number code for the specific forum you want, and the bottom is the first three letters of the name of the forum you want. This keeps it from scarpering off and trying to get the whole internet.

example

-*
+community.wizards.com/forums/103421*
+community.wizards.com/site*
+community.wizards.com/forum/rav*
+community.wizards.com/content*

would download the entire ravenloft forum and ignore the other forums. (the * at the end of the first line is important otherwise it will only grab the first page of the forum.
