Google's old
"PageRank" is not much of a factor (if any) in determining a websites importance/performance these days. The origins of "PageRank" pre-dates even the first Google Bots and the newer
Google Panda,
Google Penguin and
Google Hummingbird. It was good when it first came out (about 2001) but the algorithm it used is not nearly as accurate as the newer methods that Google uses today (some of which they will not divulge) to actually rank your site and pages in their search engine.
The other factor to consider is "PageRank" was a per page rank. It would give a different rank for every url of your site. It was not all encompassing and would've been hard to judge a websites overall rank using it, especially a forum which has hundreds if not thousands of pages.
With that all said,
No I do not have any "PageRank" info from before, and honestly have not looked at the "PageRank" for any site in years. When I actually looked up to see if Google was still using it the last article written on "PageRank" was in 2007, so I'm thinking if it's not defunct already it really is not much of a factor. It also appears the only people offering to be able to check your Google "PageRank" are third parties. If it's not in Google's own Webmaster Tools I wouldn't count it with much weight.
Edit: The third party "PageRank" checker: prchecker.info says the site I detailed above's main landing page's rank is a "1" (as in 1 out of 10)
