Another approach, which I admit would be a lot more work and eat up a
lot of your disk space, would be to contact all or most of the people
involved and see if you can get them to supply the images. Most
likely they have been removed to save disk space but they still have a
copy on their PC's.
If you got their permission to quote the texts, you could then take
the text of the LUGNET threads and fix the links so they work, and
host that as part of the Shipyard website, rather than linking to the
threads on lugnet.com.
