Yes, Googles cache is good, but has limits... unfortunately it's not possible to actually browse the cache, which would have been great.
Also, the formatting is completely lost.

Great if you started a thread and wanted to 'capture' the info again to cut n paste elsewhere ;)

If you use firefox and install this addon: http://www.greasespot.net/
the install this script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30878
You can access the google cache and it switches all the links to "cached links" so effectively you can browse whatever it has taken a snapshot of recently.
Use a "cache" search on google ie: cache:TenerifeForum.com (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&rlz=1B3MOZA_enES340ES340&biw=1280&bih=754&source=hp&q=cache%3ATenerifeForum.com+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1) and then browse around and see what you can find.

If you want to search the old forum for something specific use a site search:
site:http://TenerifeForum.com renewing my passport (http://www.google.es/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2FTenerifeForum.com+pas sport&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1MOZA_en___ES341#sclient=psy&hl=es&client=firefox-a&hs=4u4&rlz=1R1MOZA_en___ES341&source=hp&q=site:http%3A%2F%2FTenerifeForum.com+renewing+my+ passport&aq=&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=b497471c48dd74ef&biw=1280&bih=754)
for example to bring up a list of threads with that info. Now, instead of clicking on the google link as usual you have to click where it says "cached" to view the page stored in Googles memory.
