It's a bummer, a lot of these sites and their vast archives of patterns and knowledge are going down and disappearing when people age out and hosting doesn't get paid. I like fly anglers online, they still have alot up but some of the archives are turning into error pages.
If anyone has a connection to any of the old forum owners (westfly, flytyingforum, etc), let me know. I'm sure we could look into how to move their archives here if they wanted.
I just don't know any of them and wasn't active there.
