Does anyone know what happened to the MOCrecipes blog and whether there is a mirror

[Jon22]

Hello - I bookmarked the blog mentioned because it had some excellent articles on advanced building techniques that I wanted to come back to when I had time. It was thoroughly and thoughtfully written, not just a collection of images. But it has apparently disappeared. Does anyone know of an archived version reachable somewhere on the net?

Have you used the wayback machine? That is always my first stop for lost websites.

That's always my go-to as well.  Here's the last snapshot the Wayback Machine has, from May of this year:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190526211932/http://mocrecipes.com/

Since it's recently gone and the URL at least still works, perhaps there's hope that it'll be fixed and come back to life at some point!

Yes, I checked the Wayback Machine and it has some but not all of the content, especially pictures. But I did manage to track down the author's Flickr account from the snapshot and sent him/her a message there to see if the outage is only temporary. It wasn't a constantly updated blog, it seemed like the author put out a few years of content then exhausted what they had to share. Thanks.

Follow-up: the author of the blog ("lisqr" on Flickr) replied this, so I guess it's not coming back: "Sorry, I don't have time to maintain the blog anymore. Also after 2 years of not paying for the site plus the host going bankrupt or something, It got taken down."

There are 4 pages of posts and all have explanations and pictures how to do them.

Not all posts have all images linked to them in the Wayback Archive. For example the October 19 2016 post on 'Technic beam roof techniques' is archived (in both of the two most recent scrapes of the blog), but the images were not saved (in either of those archives).

The same goes for the May 20 2016 article on 'Single-panel rectangular windows'. Though I admit I haven't checked every single snapshot the Wayback Machine took of the blog. Maybe I'll try some different ones and get lucky, but I think the author probably included some images in a way that made them inaccessible to the Wayback Machine's archival process (for example hotlinking them from somewhere else).
