Hi all! Been a hot minute since I crawled out of my Zoomer Discord hole to engage with the gang over here. There's a bunch of things I want to talk about / shill, but for now I just want to focus on one pressing issue: what the heck happened to Raven's Garage, the mightiest Bubblegum Crisis fansite of them all?
I ask because back in January Skuse was announcing the site's 30th anniversary, remarking that he was now a 60-year-old man, and that he still wanted things to talk about, so email him etc etc etc. I did actually try to do this and the email didn't go through, I don't know what happened. And now the site appears to be... down? Like there's a page but it's not a real page, it's this weird 'index of' thing and then dumps anyone who clicks on the sole link buried in it to a 403 error.
So it's not that Skuse gave up on the site, I presume, unless his entire take on Raven's Garage switched between January and now and he now wishes for his work to be consigned to the void eternal. Does anyone know what happened? Am I missing something? I know plenty of people on the BGC Discord would like to see the site either revived or archived.
