I've seen the subject brought up before.. It would be really handy if you had a script that could spider your forums, saving the pages locally on the server as static HTML pages. This would allow users to browse a super fast copy or you could make CD-R's of your site which are browseable offline. I know there are programs out there to save webpages but they never seem to work all that well with forums..

The script would have to:
* Modify the links in the pages to point to other static pages instead of the usual links to the dynamic site.
* Save images locally that are linked to and change the corresponding img tags.
etc..

It would be quite a project but could be done.. Ideas?
