    I bought a domain while back for no reason but last week I found out
    this domain has alot of links and also had a very active forum during 2002 thru 2004 "i found it at archive.org" so my question is there a way I can get going like that again.
    or if I can get sql dump from archive.org ???

    Please be clearer, I really don't understand what's going on here. Is archive.org the domain you bought, or the place where you bought the domain? Also, how can they hold an sql dump of a site that they are displaying on their listings?

    Please clarify. :D

    I believe you mean to say.

    You used the wayback machine from archived.org
    example below
    http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.yahoo.com

    And now you want to recreate the website that was archived in the years 2002-2004


    Archive.org just creates a live archived version of a website. They do not have access to a sql dump or anything similar to that. It is a copy of what that website looked like nothing more.
    Very similar to doing a siterip. You will get all the frontend information but not the backend information.

    Your best case scenario is to create a new forum with a similar or updated look and do a relaunch.

    Good Luck.

    I agree with Ahkit, it would be like stealing their material. Get your own site on that domain. :)

    It may also be clever to reopen up the same type of site so that all your backlinks work. Its like free trafic.. Unless you had a really good idea for the domain when you purchased it.

    URUGURU: archive.org archives websites, if you have bought a domain today and want to see what it was few years back then search in archive.org.
    AHKIP: I am not sure about legalities but IMHO content belonged to domain name and I own the domain name now so I should access to it.
    But it could be called wishfull thinking :)

    registering an old domain name does NOT give you any rights to the content. It is copyright infringement to use their content, and besides being subject to civil damages, is can be a criminal offense - and some people have gone to prison for years in extreme cases.
