Unfortunately not. Let me tell you the tale of Bibboa.
Bibboa was a message board here at the Dc site which was not in use. The poster known as Bibbo cleverly discovered it by counting the forum numbers, and finding out which numbers were not in use (this forum is #119, if you look in the url panel on your screen). He then provided a link to the vacant board to about 30 people, and we all posted there as an off-topic, mess-around board, called the Republic of Bibboa (we had futilely declared ourselves independent of Rob, and gave ourselves ministerial positions within the secessionist Bibboan government. I think I was Minister for Tourism.)
Rob (who is a nice guy and has his own message board at
www.robkamphausen.com) rapidly found out about this because he gets a user traffic report, and was perplexed by the ""4% traffic, unnamed board"" reading. He investigated, found Bibboa, and let us mess about there for a few more weeks until he had to use the board for a new title (from memory, appropriately Suicide Squad, but I could be wrong).
Anyway, Martin, the moderator at
www.mobiusinfinity.com, a now defunct and once very busy board which was used by posters from DC and Wizard's boards, wrote to Rob and asked him if he could save Bibboa by transplanting all the threads to mobiusinfinity.com. I understand that Rob said no, because threads on the DC boards are DC's property, and he can't just give them away - he is under a tight rein from his boss, and doesn't have much discretion in these things.
Having said all that, I can talk to Rob about
copying the Teabags thread onto my board (or to
www.lucifermorningstar.com) as a way of preserving it. Rob is much more technically minded than me and he'd know how to do it. I don't know what he'll say though, as to whether he is allowed to do it.
