I hope that there will be an archive at least, there is some great 
information on that board.

Sorry, I don't have any mail adress for Pete. Perhaps you could try to 
get in touch with Ian Mapleson or other frequent poster.

Ive been hanging around on nekochan since high school. Its been my go to
forum for a while and im not sure what I will do without it. There was a
discussion on the forum itself a while ago about setting up some kind of
bot to scrape the forum posts and archive the content. I decided against
trying to do so myself as it seemed that it could take up quite a bit of
bandwith and i did not want to offend the site owner.
I have an entire room full of sgi equipment, and the information onthe site
was valuable to me. I never had direct contact with the site owner, does
anyone know of contact information for him? I would like to contact him,
and if he is deciding on closing up the site, i would like to try and work
with him to preserve some of the important discussion and documentation the
site provided. As mentioned in a previous message to the list, another sgi
forum has popped up already, i do not want to try and start my own forum
and have a division of what few sgi owners there are out there, but if need
be, i will host some of the documentation from the nekochan site if i can
get it.

If anyone has contact information for the owner of the nekochan site,
please let me know so i can get in contact with him.

I just posted my SGI Indigo PSU repair to that site and was planning to 
copy it over to my personal blog this weekend. Arrgh.


I assume archive.org doesn't have the site either since it's dynamicly 
rendered.


Kind of a knee jerk reaction, just send a mass email like every other site 
does.

There is a new site up at http://irix.cc that's hoping to fill the void.
Hopefully it takes off!
