I can't and Mick has told me before that he can't as admin. The only way it could be done is by accessing the database on the server and the only person with that access is Roy. He has told me in the past that he has no interest in reading PM's and does not do. From memory it's not quite straight forward to do anyway.
All the forum data - posts, messages, pictures, settings etc are all stored in a MySql database and the forum runs on php and templates. As far as I know the only thing not plain text in the database is user passwords, they are encrypted by the users browsers using a one way algorithm before being sent to the server, only the encrypted password is stored. This is a standard internet way of handling passwords.
Well you did ask
