Discovered a way to find lost art from old websites
Made and Amazing find !!!
There have been many threads about lost art, meshes, and animations. These have been lost on old websites etc...and when we discuss them years later we presume they a long lost in the mists of time - not so !!!!
A site called the Wayback Machine allows users to freely visit many sites at various different times in their past !
For example, I am currently browsing the lost galleries of BattlestarPegasus.com !!!!
I have only visited the BP.com site on one of date archived of one archived year, and sadly not all images on the site remain, but many do, and if I search in other weeks it may be possible to find the other lost images.
For example, check out this art page made by a gentleman who recently got in touch through my website :
http://web.archive.org/web/200012140...ens/index.html
As you can see not all images are intact, but there could be loads of lost material archived just waiting for us to rescue !!!!!
Have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

I've been aware of that site for a while now. That's how I recovered a few of my Viper images from the April Fools prank a few years ago.
Regarding the missing images we're searching for, did *those* come up for you? They didn't for me....

I'm not exactly sure which ones you're looking for. Perhaps if you could list some and details where they might be found ?
I've certainly seen a lot of images I'd never seen before. Sadly no lost animations, but I thought it would be a useful resource for people......

It's hit and miss for me.
The thing about that site is...the media files have to be on the server of the original site.
Web Archive can't save media.

Well, hit and miss is better than nothing at all.

ahh well...probably won't work then. The images must be hosted with the site as I understand it - since CF requires people link to images hosted off the forum, they wouldn't have been archived along with the site.

No no no... you mis-understand.
I didn't look up the thread URL there.
I looked up the image URL's themselves. Or linked image pages, ie BP's Gallery.
