Is there an archive of the english-translated posts? I can't seem to find anything that isn't a book, manga, anime, or movie. I want the original posts but it's impossible to find. The site that everyone used to link (10+ years ago) is dead as far as I can tell. It's gotta be the original thread, having everybody's reaction to the original poster is part of the experience, that is why the manga, anime, and movie won't do.
Or is the book just as good? I kind of doubt it.

Didn't vghime/vgperson have them on her site? If that's the case you might be able to dig them up on archive.org

The Bibliotheca Anonoma has an article (https://wiki.bibanon.org/Densha_Otoko) which includes a link to an archive of the original translation.
Note that the link to the Japanese one doesn't work.

Thank you so much, and what a quick reply for a textboard. I was prepared to wait a week just for someone to say "lol i dunno"

Have you tried the Internet Archive?
