Whatever happened to...

What we can try to do is search the 1896 forum threads and copy as much info as we can to a new 'collective thread' on one of the luger forums. It's not ideal, but better than nothing.

I am currently restoring a backup of the main site to one of my own hosts, just in case.

Update: A copy of the site (sans forum, alas) is up and running and can be found at:

Needless to say, if or when Nemo reappears the copy will be removed. The domain of the master site is set to expire in April, 2010.

Thanks gentlemen. I was afraid of that. The disappearing act I mean. I had looked up the site owner information myself when the site first was over run by scoundrels months ago and also saw the domain ownership was to expire in 2010. I tried sending an email to the id that was part of the contact information but never received a response.

I don't know the actual person who was/is Nemo but he struck me as not the sort of person who would just walk away; at least not without handing off the site to someone else or some farewell message. Like many I hope he is still among us.

I also saved much of the site's static content however not the discussion threads.

Anyway thanks for the update. I'll bump this thread from time to time to see if any news surfaces.

While I enjoy Lugers, I have but three, my main emphasis was the Broomhandle so that for Mauser site to fall into disuse was
a loss. I do visit the Yahoo C96 site once in a while but the majority of the threads there had been of little interest..
