This could be nothing, or it could be very important.

This is a link to Slayer's Guide to Cythera. When I try it, Safari says it can't find Mac classics. I've tried it on a different computer as well, but only got the same result.

So has Mac Classics moved it's site or has it ceased to exist, taking Slayer's Guide with it? :P

I went looking for Slayer's guide a few days ago and got this, it appears that mac classics is no longer :P

Anybody's got a backup somewhere? If nothing else, I could probably host this site.

Sadly, I don't have a backup. If Slayer were still around he would probably have noticed and put it on another server, but since he's gone. . .

Does anyone else?

I haven't been around recently, but - is he gone? Why? Where? When will he be back? Never? This is all a shame. A shame indeed.

Slayer left about 15 months or so ago if I remember correctly, as far as I can remember he isn't comming back but you never know.

Selax thought to look with the Wayback Machine, and he found these results. The most updated one can be found here.

I still think that we should host this separately, though. I don't know how long the Wayback Machine keeps its records. If you do host it, make sure to give due mention of Slayer and clarify that it's a remake.

Edit: I just found a problem. The map section does not appear to have the maps in it :P . You might look in some of the older versions to see if they are there.

I tried this to no avail. :P They all seem to try to access the same site, which seems to no longer exist.

Well, I e-mailed Slayer. This is my e-mail and the response.

Thanks for your concern. Macclassics has gone down
only temporarily and should return near the beginning
of September.

I'm not sure how legal this is, but I used SiteSucker a long time ago on Slayer's guide to download it for a road trip. This is a pretty old version (The Finder says June 9, 2003), so I'm not sure what's missing from it. I also know nothing about HTML, but the links seem to work just fine.

Seems like only chrons are missing, but I never read them anyway. I'm not sure if Slayer ever fixed the typos and HTML errors.

I'd be willing to go and fix them, but I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to host these files, much less change them. Anyone have contact with Slayer?

Notice how you always have something to say about Slayer, Percinator :P

Yeah. A little too much. Maybe Percinator made that "farewell" post.

Percinator is Slayer's ...

UGHHH!!! HOW DID YOU KNOW!?!??!?!

He last logged in Oct 6, '04, and his farewell message was Oct 6, '04. I think he made a commitment to not look back.

Googled "Benjamin Douglass." This link shows a person, 21, had been using the blogger since November of 2004. Hmmmmmm... Slayer, is that you? It says 21 years old. Was Slayer 19 when he signed off? Makes sense.

Another link shows another guy with the same name that goes to Penn State.

The pieces are coming together, I think.

I can't prove it (my "Ben Douglas" files have mysteriously vanished), but I thought Slayer went to graduate school in Florida.

Hmmmm

Wait, wait, wait,
Wouldn't that make Percinator a... Slayer of Slayer's or perhaps a Slayer Slayer? :P

I must say that it is good of you to remember the boards. Hmm...Does this mean that we can't use that excuse any more?


By the way, Percinator, if you did remove Slayer, would you mind doing the cythera IRC channel a favor and taking out ChanServ? :P
