I fear that the gaps in the forum (which seems to be missing at least 100 files) are indeed lost forever, but there are now no longer any dead links on the main site.

Nice! So much great information on here!

I know it's an exact port-over, but I wonder if there should be an entry page inserted which explains who Jacques was, what he did, what follows, and explains that everything following is a static snapshot of how Jacques left it. That way, folks stumbling in aren't a bit confused about things "in progress", "new", or "up and coming". It would also serve as a nice memorial to recognize the contributions of that man who did a lot for the hobby/interest/cult/whatever we are.

I'm really glad you took on recovering this, Eric. Thanks!
