Many apologies folks.
I have very high security settings on the browser I was using to visit those google cache pages (no 3rd party anything is requested or downloaded). Been right through the browser logs and see nothing requested from anywhere other than google or the 'original' site in the cache. Corrupted gifs on the domain? No javascript files were downloaded by my browser but it looks like some scripts on the page were expecting some variables from js (php?) as I have some error messages in the logs:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: selectContentInit
TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression window.execScript) is not object.
TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression _b0.addBehavior) is not object.
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: urchinTracker
Next time I find an interesting cache, I will link to the text only version.

As most did not get to see the cache for the forum, dated 2004: basically falkag were not too fussy about whose ads they passed through their ad network and some sites where being offered ads which hosted/installed malware of the tracking and ad delivery variety. The domain registrations for the scripts show they were registered to GATOR. St.Petersburg and Ukraine get a mention too. ElReg was covering the story at the time as per links on the forum.
Shows what a small world it is and how once one bad apple gets into the basket, the rest seem so come around for the easy touch.
