Shiraaya's Website?

One of the Modelgun worlds' best and most respected Gurus, Shiraaya's website seems to have dissappeared from the Web.

His site has always been a superb source of Videos and articles so this dissappearance prompts the question Does anyone know why please?

Hopefully it's a simple glitch on the 'Web, Shiraays's site is proving to be a great loss already.

Yep, its been down a few days, does not look good, lets just hope he is improving it and not given up on it

It's been archived by Internet Wayback Machine, you can see the page here:

In any case I hope this is just a temporary glitch.

Excellent find smootik , thank you very much for this.

Shiraaya's web-site is far too good to lose, I'm relieved this Back-Up service exists. Links on this site can now be restored and information and videos viewed again.

Hopefully Shiraaya is indeed updating, let's hope he hasn't stopped altogether.

It seems the owner of site close it due to high running cost of the site, it went to giga-byte level.
Hope it will re-open sometime in a future.

Thank you for the update Shazhib.

Shiraaya's site, regardless of the fact it is written in Japanese, has been a valuable source of Modelgun information and knowledge for many enthusiasts Worldwide. His Videos alone are worth viewing and have been used by retailers and dealers to promote sales of these PFC Models.
Closure of the site will be a great loss.

I have started downloading as many pages and videos as I possibly can while the site is still open. However, several pages have already been lost.
My intention is to try downloading Shiraaya's articles and videos onto our forum in an attempt to save them.
This is going to be a lengthy task, but well worth doing in my opinion.

Our Forum site has evolved into the largest and premier Modelgun information and discussion site outside of Japan. Mark's original forum site is again unavailable, so we're rapidly becoming the only source of information, articles and discussion outside Japan. We've members Worldwide, with more and members joining regularly.

As other sites close, links from here become useless so whilst I can transfer some articles and videos over to here, it isn't going to be possible to save everything.
I would ask, please, that all of you enthusiasts out there that enjoy this hobby of ours, take time to video your models in action, write reviews, write about problems and how you've fixed them and post them up here.
If we are going to be the only Modelgun site in the Western World, let's make it the best there is.


Thank You All
