@FalconFly I'm sorry to hear the news that this place is shutting down as I've always considered it home for all things 3dfx related.
I thank you for keeping this place going for this long as I've learned a lot over the years by reading the useful information posted by the various users and having the links to download all the sw needed to test the cards in my collection.

Best wishes for the future,
G1nX

A sad day indeed.

Thank you for the space and friendship Martin, if you are ever in my corner of the States the first round of drinks is on me!

Quick Update on the DvD :

I've pretty much completed the raw Server dump, now I'm just looking if I can fit it on one single DVD for ease of purpose. Doesn't look like it thou Wink

I'd rather include all the temp images and various image archives, as they include quite a bit of 3dfx Hardware images that might go lost otherwise.

I reckon sometime next week I'll send it all out, but don't quote me on that Wink

PS.
Having received numerous requests for some form of Forum File backup (which got all denied due to legal reasons), I'm still investigating if I can't find a way to export a somewhat functional read-only Version of the public pages and pack it onto the DVD set.

No idea if that experiment is successful though, so far all Tests with various Software have failed (quite miserably).

A backup of the forum would be awesome. I'll try to save some threads, but the entire forum archived properly would be much, much better.

It's sad that you have to close the site and the forum, but it's understandable, it was nice while it lasted, I aquired some nice cards here and I met some cool people.

Thanks for that!

Hi All,

I did an index/copy of the entire site (including forums as html pages).

Obviously only public pages, linked files etc, but should have 90% of everything, hope that is okay Smiley

Oh, sweet Smiley
Saves me from buzzing around with Software that failed to archive even a single Forum page.

I have been inactive here for several years now and I just read that information on VA.  Cry

Being inactive here, means not that I did not use the archive during the last years.

Well I do respect the decision and I just want to say THANK YOU for the great effort to the community.

Alright, small update on the deliveries : Planning to send out a full Batch next week on Monday.

Been holding up on that, waiting for more Addresses to send to, but now it's a big enough Batch to really make it worthwhile.

(was busy with other stuff in the meantime, so 3dfx related stuff was left on low priority)

Hello! I'm a member of 3dfx community all these years and it is very sad to hear such news from you. I want to help you to save your website without any finances from you and free for all people from community. I will send you PM with my thoughts.

I recommend Teleport PRO to backup complete Falconfly site. It can by use later on DVD as read only, with working links.

Alright, everyone who asked for a DVD copy of the 3dfx Archive so far got it sent out today Smiley

As usual, allow for typical postal (DHL) delivery times.
