So I thought I'd bring this back up, if anyone knows of any mods we can get for this newer version. A lite version would be useful for lots of people.
Also, I noticed something when looking at another vBulletin forum recently, a change in the URL that produced a text version, so I tried it with ours (you just add this /archive after the vb/)

You have to log in again, and the threads are presented in chronological order according to when they were started (never mind, maybe they don't), which would be troublesome. I just thought it was neat.
