that's great for sites with static pages, however every single page on PCECP
was dynamically generated.  the Archive is pretty much worthless for trying to
recover scripts that generate pages.

Plus the database of user accounts, game titles, cheats and reviews could not
have been backed up by archive.org.

I am going to give Glexicon one more week to produce the backup of the data,
after that it will be on to the next step.

Has anyone else noticed that Bonk looks suspicously similar to Dopey
from the Walt Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?  Perhaps
this is one of those "Separated at birth" things.
