Website is gone :(

Let's see how long this one lasts in here... :P

Yahoo says they can't recover the site, cause it was down more than 30 days, even though the circumstances were out of my control.

I tried to support Yahoo since these guys supported racers, but this just about pisses me off.&nbsp Almost 10M worth of raw HTML I coded from scratch and over 200 hours wasted.&nbsp It looks like I gotta rebuild the website from scratch again!

Don't expect anything in the next couple months, but I hope to get most of the website rewritten by the end of the year.&nbsp Sorry for the inconvenience cause Yahoo deems my site not worth of file recovery...

http://www.fc3s-pro.com/

I will be moving the domain over to some other server, so don't worry about it for now...

Sorry for the bad news!

Oh yeah, send a e-mail their way to tell them how much they suck!

Yea that was quite a wealth of information. You sure it hasn't been cached by any users/servers?

I could swear I remember someone saying they had the entire site copied locally to their system.

RETed - I emailed them and told them they sucked - In the most mature manner as possible.

Hopefully things work out in the future. Lots of articles I've been dying to read, but have never had the opportunity to do so.

if you search "FC3S Pro" and include other crap in it, google will bring up the old link. if you hit "cache" it shows you the google cache of that page and take you to stuff like this. i tried seeing if you could lookup a whole site in the cache but no go . looks like you can do it one at a time tho and save the pages.

here's what i got on a random example search using "fc3s pro msd"
http://216.239.37.104/search?q=cache...hl=en&ie=UTF-8

and

searching for this on google will give you your entire site:

site:fc3s-pro.com fc3s

seems like you would have to put it back together by hand, but its all there, just click on the "cached" link below each page

*edit

this seach string in google will actualy work better

-asinglewordthatshouldneverexistinthesite site:fc3s-pro.com

put that in as a google search and you will get all your pages

From your "crappy windows ie explorer", choose View/Source.

You guys can save RETed a lot of time by sending him whatever code you have from the old site. He may need to spend some time putting it back together and reworking the links, page breaks, etc., but at least he doesn't need to rewrite the whole thing.

is hosting an issue? because I can make it a non-issue.

Recovering code, however....

but I'm sure web.archive.org or google.com will have a near-complete archive of it... I got a few things off of google's cache from the site pretty recently.

Try this site: http://www.archive.org/ Although far from perfect, its totally cool - pretty much every website archived since 1996. For some reason it fails to connect to fc3s-pro.com though but it does have old k2rd with pics.

Yea, google cache, I"ve been using it since your website went down a while back. All your coding is still there just no pics anymore. Shouldn't take too long.

Stupid Yahoo.

ok...i was bored...the thing is...the google cache search thing stops displaying the cached webpages after the 11th or 12th page of listings and only shows links to the originals....so i only got like 100 or so pages of it .

It would probably be worth your while to go through and search yahoo for some of the words on your different pages. For example... here, I searched for "fuel pump rx7" and opened the cached page...

http://216.109.117.135/search/cache?...FUEL/fpump.htm

Sure it may take a while to get them all... but it beats writing the coding for all of those tables, etc.

I know that, I'm a web designer and computer tech. I don't know where to retrieve the code for the entire cached site in bulk... ie i don't want to click on every link and view source. That would take forever.
