What Happened to the Classic Fuji Website!?

There were catalogs from way back, but now the site says "Domain Name Expired"! Who had the site? Do they know it expired? I've searched online for other sources of catalogs with no luck. I use these catalogs to help identify potential buys.

Sad.

@Bianchigirll-thanks. I sort of thought that it belonged to someone on this forum. I wonder if they are aware that they don't have it any more. That site brought a wealth of information for Fuji owners and potential Fuji owners. I hope it will go back up. I've never had a blog or website, so I don't know what's involved. Anyway, if anyone knows this person, will you please let them know?
Thanks.

I was just on that site a couple days ago.

The Way Back machine seems to have the site's pages, but not any of the catalogs. At least for the small sample I tried.

@ScottRyder - Hi. Not sure, but do you know about the classic fuji site? It's not there, and the way back machine doesn't link to the catalogs. Thought you might know. Thank you.

Thanks everyone.
@oddjob2- I just sent an email. I'm confused because others say Scott Ryder, and you said this information, so it was just confusing. Thanks. I hope to hear back.

Scott's aware and working on contacting the site owner. For now, can we please remove names, addresses, and personal emails from the list. I, for one, wouldn't want that posted for the world to see.

BTW, that email for Scott is bad. As far as I know, he won't be receiving it, but I still think it should be removed.

The classicfuji.com domain name expired and was deactivated on July 18th. Unfortunately the notifications from MelbourneIt, the site registration company, went directly into my spam folder and did not get noticed. Reactivation is in progress but a timeline to get back on line is a little fuzzy. Sorry for any inconvenience. It will be back.
Regards to all,
Bill Reavis

That's good news, thanks Bill.

btw, I'm not connected to Bill's website in anyway but I blame him for all the Fuji's I have in my house!

Bill I am glad to hear your site will be up soon. I know I have used it many times for Identifying bikes.
Your site is a great resource and I appreciate your efforts.

Classicfuji.com is up

The site is again up, running, and unexpired. It appears to work on all the major browsers. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm hoping to fix some of the format problems sometime in the future but can't promise any kind of a time-frame.
Again, sorry for the lapse.
Regards to all, Bill
