No, we wouldn't, and yes, it would be.

Only a snapshot is easy to make. Copying the entire underlying
structure of dynamical pages would not be trivial, but not hard either
(since Todd speaks of it fairly freely, and much material is
available). Copying the entire forum structure into an NNTP-based
database would be less trivial, but still not very hard.

Making it dynamic, and gatewayed to lugnet without Todd's consent is
pretty much impossible.
