Title: Rohrbaugh Firearms Website finally removed from the Internet
Post by: ECR on March 24, 2015, 07:11:34 PM

Well, I check in there about once a week and today I see they finally removed our old Rohrbaugh Firearms Corp. webpage from the Internet. I guess it is final now.  lol.

Well, it lives on, at least on my personal computer. Several months ago I archived the website to my computer using a program called "site sucker."

Nice Will. There was some good information on that site for enthusiasts. As you mentioned in a PM to me, most likely that the registration for the website expired yesterday and was not renewed, so, in all actuality, Remington hasn't done anything with it. Sounds about right. I guess that concludes this thread! Short and sweet. lol

Is there any way of bringing it back so it can be saved permanently on our computers? I had saved it on my computer by downloading it to the hard drive ( so I thought ), but now its gone. Thanks.

WOW! - That was our first website!  I was wondering how I could show that and here it is! Beautiful. I always thought that was a neat setup, but then we went "conventional" lol.  All I have is hard copies of how that one looked while you have it working! Very good! Thanks for posting that one. . . . it brings back some fond memories.

I too was wishing that I had been around to view the website!  Nra-Life-Member you are a gentleman and a scholar; and Eric that was a very stunning home webpage especially the way it worked.     Wayne in  SE  Arkansas

Looks like the renewal grace period ended at which time the domain name was scooped up by an investor.  Everytime I had checked in on it, it was still in the grace period and wasn't available to purchase.  Anyway, the investor who bought it said that the domain name is for sale for $550.00 USD.

Remington has the rights to that website now, he has nothing to sell!   Screwballs out there I tell ya.
