Original Baldur's Gate Message Board?

Greetings!
I have a question regarding the original Baldur's Gate message boards from 1997-1999. The message board site itself is available through the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/19980117015329/http://www.interplay.com/bgate/feedback/index.html), yet all of the posts have evidently been lost, unless there is a way to use WM to reach them that is unknown to me. The posts include a large number of input from Bioware and Interplay developers and, based on some of the excerpts from their content reposted on several old gaming websites, they offer a huge amount of valuable information regarding the creative process behind the game - it would be a great waste if it were to be lost forever.
Is anyone on the forum aware of any existing archive of that message board (I know that there is an archive for the BG2 forums) or perhaps a place where some of its content could have been reposted? Perhaps the devs themselves managed a copy of the posts on an ftp or even disc somewhere where it could be accessed?
Thanks and best regards!
