ggdad1951 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Have you gotten ahold of Bob? Would he be willing to send the files? I know a lot of the files that are downloads (manual pages) will not/are not available on wayback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15-D24 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I just sent him an email but I don't think it will work because the email uses the old domain name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 FWIW, I went to the wayback site earlier. Spent sometime trying to learn & navigate. I think I finally was getting somewhere .... every time I clicked on a .pdf I got a error "oops we did not archive that file" I did not find anything to save. I dunno maybe I was doing it wrong .... or @ggdad1951is correct .... I do not have a account there & had option to log in .....would that make a difference?

Merle Coggins Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 The last time I communicated with him was via Facebook Messenger. I just sent him another message. We'll see what comes of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Bob replied to my message and told me that the domain is paid up into next year so the site should be up and running. He’s going to dig into why it’s not. He’s also going to send me info on how to access the files, once it’s up and running again, so that we can save them to the forum site.

Odd things happen cyberspace, I had a website I ran for a tailgating beer game that was paid up for a year and somehow the web address got linked to a japanese soft core porn site.

JBNeal Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Kinda looks like this is not the 1st time that the site has gone down... I never got around to joining DPETCA for a variety of reasons before Bob idled the site activity. He set up a FB page that is kinda active but IMHO it is populated with way too many obnoxious rat rodders and whiny SBC enthusiasts. Bob has not been active on here in years, and the last time we conversed awhile back, he lamented having a very full plate. I have wanted to support the DPETCA online database presence since I finally got around to setting up a profile here, that way my annual donation could help go towards maintenance and support. I was hoping that this site could mirror the DPETCA site, but I reckon there are technical issues that may preclude that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could set it up to present all the content in a Pilothouse section. I just need the source files and images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMBoise Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 That would be awesome. I use the resources on that site regularly. Merle, have you heard anymore on the status of getting the old site back up? Without the site up, my guess is there is no easy way to retrieve the data.
