Does anybody know what happened to the Robin resource site extremerobin.com? Did it move? Vanish? It was a cool site, and I visited it not that long ago. The only trace I could find was an old version still around at its former geocities address. It always makes me sad when good resource sites vanish.

well, the messageboard is still up (you can get to it from the old site)

there's a message on there from last month saying

I may or may not be stuck having to renew my domain name (I thought it was paid up through my server hosting). I'm not sure what time period it takes to do it, but I read somewhere that my registration is up today!

As a result, please bookmark this message board and visit the message board directly rather than through the website if the website itself fails.

Regards,
Tim

A good place to look for those disappeared websites is at the Internet Wayback Machine, at http://www.archive.org/web/web.php. It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes you get lucky and the entire site is preserved long after its demise. Here's the link I got when I searched for extremerobin.com: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://extremerobin.com

Thanks a lot for the info. It's great to know that it the site is going to be up again eventually, and it's domain problems, not the owner leaving fandom or something like that.

Thanks for the tip. I knew about the wayback machine, just so far I never had much luck, but a bunch of the Extreme Robin site seems to be there.
