I just had to do some fixing up on the server which happens to host, among other things, the beta episodes. Confirmed they are still where they have always been. At URLs that anyone can hit if they simply type in the write series of characters into their browser's location bar.

Asking for clarification: are the forums that predate the FRC still up as well? Or just the beta episode files? Is looking for said forum even still a worthwhile thing to do in trying to locate the files?

That forum is not live. Even if it was, it was registration only, so you wouldn't see anything. It's just the mp3s that are live. Hint. Starts with http://www., ends with .mp3.
As I think I understand it, Emily said earlier in the thread they aren't on a domain you own, but you also say you're able to go in and fix things on the server they're on. So I take it that means they're under a URL for a site you help host, but don't run? Won't ask for a hint on which domain it might be; just want to confirm whether I understand this right or not.

How would they be on a domain I don't own? How is that even possible? Who is hosting them for me?
RIT has sometimes left student accounts open for a long time, and you can get stuff hosted there. But that's not obvious, 'cause we'd need to know your extremely arbitrary RIT account, which has a random set of numbers in addition to your initials.

GeekNights did not exist while we were at RIT. We didn't start it until late 2005 while living in Beacon.

Again, RIT can keep your student account open past graduation, and sometimes do accidentally. So you could've found you still had access and stored stuff there.

I've searched their RIT web pages (Their usernames were pretty easy to find using Google), and they're not there.

Like I said, it was something Emily said (see ninjarabbi's quote). I assumed that maybe you might be helping to host a site/domain for a friend (which I've seen done plenty before), which would mean you might have access to said domain on your server without technically being the domain's owner.
I'm guessing if that's your answer, though, then Emily and all the other FRC types must have just been referring to the domain of the old forum, not the domain where the episode files are. That's all I needed to clarify, thanks.
With a hint from the Patreon, I believe I have found some of the beta episodes. Five that predate the 31 October 2005 start date.
Scott: (Indistinct.) Rym: All right. Blah blah blah testing testing. Scott: It works. It still goes way off the edge! Rym: (Moving microphone noise.) Because you sit way far away and I sit kind of close.
Will only say this: I apparently got SUPER close a few times over the last seven years(!) by finding a particular place, but I never took the next logical step beyond that once I got there.
Seriously, I am kicking myself.
