I got desperate tonight and had some time on my hands, so I started googling cached webpages. Didn't find much so I focused on specific websites that house aggregated web cache content or whatever. Still, no luck.
Then, I took the url of a thread from the old board and pasted it into the engines. Again, nothing came up, but when I did it on cachedpages.com and clicked the webarchive.com button, that took me to an error page which asked if I wanted to search again using just the soapchat.net url. YES, OF COURSE. I clicked on the link at the bottom of the page and it brought up 75,943 url results. This page inevatibly stalled (because that's just too much).
I closed the tab, went to history, and started the process over again, this time being careful to right click and copy the url on the link at the bottom which asked if I wanted to search again just using the soapchet.net url. I pasted it into the web bowser. I then added more url details behind "soapchat.net/," such as "/index.php?forums" and clicked enter. This brought me to a page with only 6,367 url results. Much more manageable. I did a search on the page for multiple random terms "Danny," "Blake," "Dominique." Each found multiple results on the page. I decided to go with "Blake," scaling the page to see which url with his name found on the page looked interesting enough to click. I found one so I right clicked and opened it in a new tab. Voila. An archived thread had loaded.
Through the links on this archived page, I was then able to navigate to the main forum page from August 2016. I then proceeded to navigate around from there. Unfortunately, many of the links don't work. But some do.

As I said, many of these links on the page don't work, but there could be a lot of content some of you have been looking for which is still available. It's worth playing around with! I'm too tired to continue digging tonight. But if you have the patience and the memory, you may want to try this, too. It will be great if we can find more lost data, specifically more recent threads.
FYI: The "Chronology Project" Thread seems to be in tact. Someone ought to back that up immeeeeeejetlé.
Good luck with these findings.
