It seems like a news group dump.

Wayback Machine earliest snapshot is from 2012. It probably never was a proper forum.

Each sub forum seems to have died suddenly at some date, different for each one. What's going on here? It's like the scene in a book where they're going through the remains of some dead civilization and saying "food still on the table, doors open... Whatever happened here, it happened suddenly."

From the title I was guessing "Experts Exchange." Does anyone remember that?

It might be more courteous to link to a mirror.
