B-24 Site Gone?

The B-24 Pro Boards Web Site is Gone. It is a Great Site
and Has Many Photos. Anyone know what happened to it?
Cheers,
Mike

    I lost it too. Pro Boards said they had removed it! I did a google search, found it again and bookmarked the site. Try typing in http://www.b24bestweb.com/ and see if that works.

    The site is still there (and the photos), but it looks like they've done away with the forum section.

    Yup, it's history!

    Was having too many problems with proboards!
    Besides, users were dwindling and more people
    (338 members so far) are now using...

    our Facebook "Discussion Group" with tons of photos!!

    That's the same story (members use down) with the Forum message board on the 100th BG website. It's going away soon as the 100th BG website update is done next month. The 100th BG has a Forum page here  ( 100thBG-THORPE ABBOTTS) that's very active and works best for people looking for info on subjects they can post and find with replies from many thousands of members. Facebook can't compare to it!!! 

    currently 884 members on the 100th BG (WWII) Facebook Group page that's very active and growing in nuwbers, new veterans material,photos from next gen family members.

    Is there any chance your old forum paged are cached? A Google search had this result:
     
    1. B24-PB4Y WebBoard - Crew photos for these 466th guys? b24bw.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=B24Crew&action...76

ALL B-24 Related Stuff. ... I am producing a video documentary of my uncle's experience as a B-24 pilot (466th, ... Gallopin Ghost 41-29439 ... 
       
      but it's not cached. I have a relative who was a crew member on the Gallopin' Ghost 41-29439 and I'd like to get in touch with the poster. It's a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd ask. Nothing about a video or documentary of the a/c shows up in a search.

    you might have some luck using the Internet Wayback Machine to find cached pages:

    good luck.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately none of the forum pages were indexed by Internet Archives.
