It appears that the world's premier Microman site, Microman Forever, has closed-down.
In his last few updates, site-owner Paul commented that he was having troubles with the website in the form of Trojan attacks to the server and then issues with his PC crashing whenever he attempted to upload any new content. Given the fact that the site had not been updated for over a year, combined with the 404 error messages generated when trying to access it, it looks like the site hosting has been left to expire.
If this is the case, then it's sad to see Microman Forever go-under, as it was Paul's superb website that got me back into collecting Microman. And as one of the few English-language sites dedicated to Takara's toys Microman Forever will be sorely missed.
EDIT: Good news, everybody! I spoke with Bryan ''Microbry'' Wilkinson who has, in turn, spoken to Paul L. and he confirmed the site will be back online in the near future. Panic over!
Thanks for the update. I was severely bummed to see the site down, as a fellow microman collector!
ReplyDeleteI share your joy - I thought we'd lost our prime Microman resource. I'm certainly going to see about donating to its upkeep when he's back.
