Hey people, got a simple/stupid question.

I used to have "happy hacker", a book, and it explained how to find archieves from sites/forums. How do you do this? (I can''t find me book! )

An example of what I'm talking about: Lets say a forum deleted posts in August of this year. How do you get these off of the net? I have done it before, but be damned if i can remember how to do it now! If my memory serves me right, everything posted in forums is recorded, and even after deletion, there is a way to bring up each month and day to retrieve that infromation.

If I'm not clear, I am sorry. I just don't know how to explain it lol. Yep, I'm a new to all of this.

Thanks, and great site! Only had to ask a few questions, and you all seemed very helpfull. Thanks again.
