Hey, I've been trying to go to MuscleUK for the past couple days now and it seems to be unavailable. Does that mean that it's finished?

If so, that sucks nuts... but I'm glad that I managed to save the figure archive and the Micro Action Figure sections...

Yea, i was worried about that too! But now that it is down, maybe we can find out who provided the server and maybe, just maybe track the guy down. I still hope it comes back up though. The micro AF stuff was helpful even though I couldnt do all the joints. I figure if it isnt back up in a week, its gone for good. Hopefully someone got teh whole site....

Let us have another moment of silence for the MUSCLE genius Joe Gibbs

I just visited the site a few days ago. I guess that was my last time.

Thanks Joe for a great site, wherever you are.

So sad.

I just tried his site and nothing.

I hope all is well for Joe.

MuscleUK may be gone, but I managed to save a couple of its features:

Micro Action Figures
MUSCLE Archive

I couldn't keep everything because of server space considerations on my end, but I wanted to save the sections of MuscleUK that were the most unique and useful.

Nice, Nate!

I noticed that on your site, let me know what you got cuz I have about 50mb of free webspace (no adds and on a fast server (not always relyable as its down now)) Im thinking of putting up a site this summer and I can host what is needed for the time being if you need to free up space....

[max powerz]

Almost forgot, I have another 50 if my girlfriend lets me use her space, she will never use it anyways, and even more if I can somehow get my h.s. space available which I never took advantage of but may still be able to access....

Gotta love fast, free, addless space

I hope joe resurfaces someday, that was definately one of the best sites, first place i ever saw anyone make micro-afs, i even talked with him one time through email and he put a small trades/add section on his site for me (guess what the add was for - colored hands) He was a great guy.

ok so now maybe we can use this to find out why he suddenly lost interest in mucles (i hope thats all it is)

[ironmask]

boo.

[pasvagrsvj]

That is fxcking awesome wraith! I decided a couple of days ago to do everthing possible to track him down, and you just gave me a great jumpstart! Unless anyone here that's actually in the UK thinks that they can do it quicker, that is.

[ironmask]

this is sort of psychotic...
