Just passing by to thank you for all the work. I really like that site, it's a very precious source of information, and I'm glad you put it up available.

Yes, if you'll zip up your last copy of the site, you can upload it here:

https://sftp.assist-inc.com/dropbox/support

I'll get the file and put it online.

TSR Archive was instrumental in compiling an inventory of my collection for my own personal records and for my special collections insurance policy.

I hope this site returns quickly. If so, I would be happy to contribute to its archive.

The thing is, this is just a snapshot of the website. Some of the links just plain don't work. And the last "snapshot" was done back in 2007. I dont know when the last update to the website was done but anything done after February 10, 2007 (at least that is my assumption based on the URL) isnt going to be there. This web archive is a pale shadow compared to the original.

Hate to see such a useful, well done resource go away. You can host it at undermountain.org for free if you like, just let me know. :wink:

I'd like to say whatever you do with it is good. I've obtained so much valuable information from your site it's shameful. Regardless of what you do with it; good luck in your endeavors.

Ok

"Black Dougal" sent over the files for the website...

It's all coded "wrong" so I need to edit the entire site...

But you can see it as I progress at it's new location:

http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive/index.html

only the main page is done, didn't have to mess with it yet..

so give me a couple days

Yeah, click the link and it fails; type in the URL directly and it works.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Ok, there are a lot of files to edit.

So for the sake of putting it online as is:

http://www.tsrinfo.net/~brenfrow/index.html

I'll be editing the files to use:

http://www.tsrinfo.net/archive/index.html

But those won't be done until I get time to edit all the links.

So use the first one if you need need access to the entire site for now...
