The link posted by "SportWagon" to
http://archive.org/web/ is a good facility to keep tabs on. I have used it previously for tracing old websites and it can be very useful.
I am unsure how it works, but seems to a 'Live' version of website copying software, 'Live' with instant access as opposed to a 'Copy' stored on a computer.

I wonder if Nigel Clark's old website can be found on the way back machine?

I just checked and it's mostly intact. Gone is the rarity commentary, but nearly all the photos are there!

Joe, can I have an overview of Nigel's website, then I'll go and have a look for it, thank's.

There seems to be a lot of the content of NigelClarke3 at
http://web.archive.org/web/200910270039 ... elclarke3/
When my geocities pages went away, webring.{com,org} actually rescued them. But I think that's (logically enough) because they were actually part of a webring. And so it doesn't seem NigelClarke3 pages ended up there. (webring.{com,org} )
Some javascript pages of mine got broken in the transfer, and I repaired them with my personal copies. The pages are approaching 15 years since updates now, so...
I have various private copies, including on an ancient HP PDA. I "donate" to webring, keeping the URLs alive, but I haven't decided what I really want to do with them in future.
An appropriate search finds the old Vectis postings still there?
Plus...

Looks like .ws was registered by an entity in California, to preserve "websites", I guess?
Yup, that's pretty much what
http://www.website.ws/ says
My old geocities pages appear to there, too. I'm not sure if it's a different copy from the webring.{org,com} ones, or just a reference to them. I'll need to work out a way to tell some other day.

Thank's SportWagon, just looked in on the Nigel Clarke link and a lot of good stuff with clickable thumbnails of some really fabulous models, worth many visits in my view.

geocites.ws appeared to have some forums, but I sent an inquiry and received an automatic reply saying they'd been forced to shut them down because of SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! (and Vikings).
Oh yes. So I need to remember than when I have trouble logging into VBD. (As I did today for some reason. Does it use a separate password server (like it "should", to prevent mass theft of hashes) which occasionally gets in a snit so even if I type my password correctly I still can't login for while? (And then I get the picture thingy and "Oh no!".... But eventually I got it all right...
