Any old Compuserve users out there?

I spent a lot of time (and printer ink) perusing Compuserve MUFON forums back in the early 90s, does anyone know if there's an archive that exists anywhere today? It would be interesting to go through some of them again.

Compuserve take me back to the 80s. I remember using some software to download posts locally and limit time online.

It’s not something I’ve used, but I managed to find something of the compuserve forums on the way back machine (I’m just not sure where to look for the mufon forum - hopefully it’s there somewhere…)

@spearz Thanks so much! I'll see what I can find.

I don't know about the archive but I do remember phoning them to cancel a free trial and talking like I was an American gangster rapper (I was about 13 and in the UK). The bloke on the other end was trying so hard not to laugh!
