I have heard lots of forums on archive cd's. i think a solution to this would be to have a option to select on the forums to add to shopping cart and that way people could choose which ones they wanted and the website could charge 5$ donation to have the one they wanted on a cd.

This idea was bandied about a few years ago.
I'd probably buy one.

bandied? banned? i think it would be a great way to get the site some untaxible income.

It's a good idea and it's been brought up frequently over the years, but the technical challenges of offering such an archive are difficult to overcome. From a business standpoint I can't imagine there would be enough demand to justify the work involved, and ultimately that's the reason it hasn't gone anywhere. My standard recommendation is to use HTTrack if you want a local copy of the site.
