I need to capture a certain forum (not pprune or anything like it) so I can have a copy on my PC.

The reason is that it is a useful resource and I'd like to preserve it.

Unfortunately it isn't any off the shelf forum software, it seems to be custom written. All the pages are dynamically generated

I have tried using a program called Jobo which grabd any simple (HTML) website but it doesn't get very far with this one.

Somebody said there is a google product which can do this but I can see only google desktop search which doesn't mention this.
