Where is the "Boss Collection" site ?

[gus84HFR]

Hi guys,

This is my first post here, I'm Gus, 46, from France.
I collect (and play) Boss pedal for two years now.

I was really happy to use the "Boss collection" site to manage my collection and to obtain a lot of useful information, but since a few weeks the site is not accessible anymore!

The site was here: http://homofreaky.com/boss/pci2.htm

Don you know what happened ?

Hello and welcome! The site you are referring to was made by the member missica (EDIT: wrong, that was another site, see below!) who used to be an active member in the period when our place was the StompBoxZone forum. A while ago I also wanted to visit the website and it wasn't active anymore.

You can see it through the WaybackMachine, though (I don't know how complete the captured sites are):

I hope that helps.

Oh cool !
This site is a goldmine to me, thank you!

(but the copy is incomplete, most of the picture are missing )

[Pepe]

Ah! I totally forgot that missica sent me a copy of the website! I have all the links and pictures. Let me have a look at that again. I want to be sure that I am able to supply it for those who are interested.

EDIT: I found the e-mails!

Hi Pepe.

Finally I was able to track down my old website. I zipped it and sent a link to you via WeTransfer.

Unzip it and do with it whatever you want to. It’s all there and as I really didn’t know what I was doing then, it’s kind of a mess. But just click the index.html, and you should be going.

Best regards
Missica

Now let's see if I can put it on my webspace. It is quite large with all the pictures.

I think it should work and I hope that some of you might enjoy it. Missica put a LOT of work and love into this site!

Thank you pepe for preserving this work, this is awesome !

But, where is the link on your site? I can't find it.

EDIT: I'm stupid, this is not the same site, does it ?

[Pepe]

Sorry. I am stupid. I mixed up the websites! Please, please forgive me! For a few hours I was so certain that this was the website you were searching for - although I looked it up in the WaybackMachine. My only lame excuse is that it was too late in the night.

So now I wonder if someone could get in touch with the owner of the vanished Homofreaky website. The e-mail address on the contact page will not work anymore, I fear. But on the index page there were two embedded YouTube videos. These are still existent, this is one of the two. Maybe you can receive an answer if you write the member PERRU44 who seems to have been the bass player of the Homofreaky band.

Five months later I am happy to announce that the member VICIX who created the Homofreaky BOSS Collection page sent me most of the data of his vanished website. I just hosted it on my webpage and you can access it via the following link:

http://pepemusic.de/boss_collection_website/boss.htm

As said some data is missing. The links that don't lead anywhere are bright grey. Maybe VICIX can support the remaining pictures someday.

But for now a lot of the website is completely back and there is tons of great information. Enjoy!

OMG ! This is awesome !

Thank you so much pepe !
