Yes, thereare backups of the database. However, because new content is being added all the time, I could only use it as a guide for reconstructing the forums. This would be pretty damn low on my list. Like I said, the actual traffic has been lower since the change, so I don't think fewer posts has anything to do with the format. I kinda like it for its simplicity, and more than few times have people said something to the effect of ,"wow, there's so much stuff, I don't know where to put anything." The funny thing is I think we're about as simple and straight forward as it gets compared to other auto community sites, relative to the features we have. We have a basic marketing and critical mass challenge more than anything. Also, there's definitely some beautification and refinement that needs to be done, but we aren't exactly a cash rich operation.
