Some of you may remember Mike Lynch who posted on here a few years ago.
Well after talking in the chat room I decided to check his site for updates - its closed.

Anchor Point essays was the most comprehensive and detailed file of the Aliens and their species.
Their behaviour, breeding, hunting and really everything in between.

This is a sad loss to the community

I like Mike a whole lot, and I'm sure that was not an easy thing for him to do, even under those circumstances. He says as much in the disclosure there, but I am willing to bet it's a big understandment of his feelings.

It is a loss, to be sure.

WOW

That had to be the BEST resource for info on our beloved Xenomorphs. This is a sad day indeed

Tough break... I'm just happy I save all the data as hard copies.

I remember back in the day when there were hardly ANY alien websites... but that sucker was around. Mine has been up since april 98 I think...

Does anyone know which one is the oldest?

Old sites never die...

They just go to the Internet Archive to regroup.

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

How long are they archived for on webarchive?

Nice catch Sarge

No idea.

Things like pictures might eventually expire first. Links are next I think.

The orginal Aliens Archive is still in there- and that ended over 4 years ago.

The Web Archive is supposed to be a full archive of the web, so theorectically it will never die (they cache on their own servers).

That is indeed sad. It's right up there with Willie's site in terms of longevity, and I miss having Mike on this board, he was a creative individual. I hope he comes back some day.

And like Dom, I too have some of his site in hardcopy.
