    I hope Carbon has his database backed up in the cloud as that's some serious data archiving which I wouldn't trust on a few hard drives.

      Hard drives are the preferred way for long-term data storage.

    I use to go on F chat religiously about 15-20 years ago and remember this chap well and he was known on the site at the time for his obsession for a certain Black Enzo as well as being a top contributor to the site.
