That's fucking bullshit. :wink:

Nevertheless, kind of sad reading over the old Brantley page again realizing that it may cease to be one day. It was one of the first places I found when I got into Super8.

A lot of people have been talking about this phenomenon of web pages simply being deleted away into nothingness. Seems like a real tragedy for historians and archivists.

Out-of-date or not, it chronicles a specific and important historical moment.

Mike, thanks for your input here. Your site was also one of the first I remember from when I started using Super8 film. I was at the time working for one of the largest ISPs here in Norway and I used to browse the web quite a lot to find Super8 info. Michael Nyberg's and yours were the two best at the time. Now both of you are here. That's an honor!

I take your offer Mike about re-publishing the content from your site here on Filmshooting.com. I have copied your whole site now and will look through it and publish it in the future.

Thanks and hope you stick around for some nostalgic discussions!

Best regards,
Andreas

Nyberg is here? Then I am in good company!

Andreas, take and use anything that you find worthwhile. From my point of view it would be an honor.

Aww. :lol:

This has to be the closest I've ever seen to a group hug on this board. Mike: thanks for being so generous with your content and allowing Andreas to preserve it. Andreas: thanks, too.

Yeah, Mike's site was great -- at least the message board part -- back in the day. Is there anyway some of those threads can be preserved as well as the articles?

Alex was the "M'Lord" of the day...always stirring up trouble. His arguments with Roger (and myself and Matt Pacini) were hilarious fun. So easy to get his goat.

Anyway, Mike, I hope you stick around and post here from time to time.

While hugging and cheering the forum members may want to chip in on this celebration too :) :idea:

- I just had to go digging around to hopefully get something out of it's archives and was pleasantly surprised to see the whole board is still there!
