Due to some sort of malfunction, it seems that my Master C/L Link Site is gone. I can't even contact the people that run the hosting site, so it is unrecoverable. The software I created it with is also gone, so, that is the end of it.

To quote Dr. McCoy, "Dammit, Jim!" I really appreciate all the work that went into compiling all those links. Thank you, Mr. Garf!!! y1 Steve

Phil, there was one page saved on archive.org (the wayback machine) from May, 2013, as follows:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130506185714/hangarflying.proboards.com/
I know it's not current, but it's something.
... and there is a copy of the Master Link list from 2017 at:

I got the second link to work and bookmarked, but not the first one. D>K Steve

Sorry to hear that Phil. You put a lot of work into it. I checked out the links from time to time. It will be missed. Thanks for making it available all these years

I had to log into the first web site to get access to the individual saved pages. Once I had access to the master list, the first URL isn't necessary. For those of you not familiar with archive.org, they collect everything they can get access to -- including old web pages. When you access archive.org, there is a window at the top of the page called the wayback machine. If you type the URL of any old web page, such as myunclewillies.com or hangarflying.proboards.com it will pop up a page with black vertical bars shown by years. If you click on one of those years, a calendar will pop up with some blue dots on it. Each of those blue dots indicated an archived page; click on one and the page MAY appear -- if the original page owner has not deleted the information on the original page. In the archive.org window, you can type in any word or combination of words (within reason) and archive.org will display every document in the database related to your search. On the left-hand side of the page there are sorting widgets so you can look for audio files, text (magazine / book / newspaper / document) files, movies, etc. Get in, poke around -- you'll find some amazing stuff there.

Sounds interesting. I will have do dig around that sometime.

After all the work the original site took to produce and the loss of the software due to computer failure, it doesn't seem worth it to me to start over and restore the site. If I change my mind later, I will let you all know.
