RancheroSteve Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Wow, that's too bad - it was a really great resource. Fotki announced a little while back that they were going to be closing "free" accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fog cutter Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 if i understand the family tree, the site was created & maintained by TRaK forum guy Bob Black. anyone who's there knows the hurdles he's been making for the past year or two, so i am not surprised.i also think the site has grown to a point that an entity such as the Model Car Museum should take the reins and manage it. it's really a resource for all model car builders and an excellent one at that. everyone ponders how to make a contribution when they're gone, but making one when you're still up and kicking must have its rewards, too.sometimes i get information from here:http://www.gslchampionship.org/library/http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Does anyone know who the actual site owner is? If so please email me or PM me.ThanksTom G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Bummer. What are we going to do now for needed instruction sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Um ... then why do I still get the page with the given link? Everyone knows it's not getting updated and is "being worked on", but I thought "no longer" meant no longer.What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just checked it. Still working for me. A site I visit several times a week. Love looking at old box art and instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It was "suspended" and now it's back. Guess Bob paid his account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have donated several instructions scans to Bob's repository. I have also donated some money to keep the site going. If you like the site and find it useful I would highly encourage you do try to donate some money to keep it going. If every user donated few bucks, that would make a huge difference. Just sayin' . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The site is back now. Everyone can enjoy it again. Peteski is correct, everyone can donate a little to help it keep going. It is a lot of work and it has been all on Bob Black's shoulders recently. Bob has about 11 years of his life into this site. It would be sad to have it disappear permanently.

Greg Pugh Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I understand a couple of guys stepped up and paid the annual subscription for the next two years so it is good for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
