Well, the domain now belongs to Matthey Leak.

so how we get all those jewels of info back? is it lost in the ether of the intramaweb forever?

Post by **Vanny** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:17 am

they are probably lost forever. Luke and i have tried over many years to secure both the content and the domain but so far have been totally unsuccessful. There are places that hold archives of the Internet so you might be able to get some data through one of them

I was browsing through it just 2 weeks ago and it worked just fine...

I hope it's something temporary,

hey folks, on a couple of occasions over the last 6 months i have jumped over there for info from threads and not once sucessfully, everytime you get a server error message or something.

to get round that problem rosco, you delete a little bit off the end of the page address the first time and then i think it worked okay, even the search function worked and i could still log in and change my profile.

However it looks a lot more terminal this time which is a shame

oh well, i take it there isnt anything we can do to recover the info?

As Vanny has said I have been desparately trying to get Matthew to release the bx16v.com name and also to get the old forum database for Vanny to integrate into thi sone but sadly we have had no luck.

I will trying reaching Matthew again but it doen't look good - such a shame we have a lot of information and good memories over on the old club

Cheers
Luke

Just to let you all know I am working hard along with some other long standing members to contact Matthew so that we can try to secure the domain and maybe even the old forum.

I doubt very much we would be here today if it wasn't for Matthew and some other 16v owners who got together all those years ago.

Let's hope all is not lost in cyberspace

Cheers
Luke

I tried long and hard to get the old forum from Matthew so we could build on it here but sadly it never happened.

I am still trying to track down Matthew to get the domain but more importantly to rescue the old database.
