the old posts are still in the google cache, if you want to retrieve them it would take a little bit of work http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=+site:www.hipforums.com+hipforums+arts+and+crafts just click where it says 'cached' and you'll be able to get back the info.
why don't you start one? I've started 3 already and I think they petered out... so I'm not making any more... but I'll gladly sign up for one though...
Oooh, I'd definitely want to join someone's swap box! I wanted to join one right before we got the new forums, and i haven't really seen any around since then.
