Hi Guys,
Does anyone know anything about the site that used to be located at www.geocities.com/falconfacts It is now mirrored at www.falconfacts.net and falconfacts.xfalcon.com due to geocities being taken down but i can't find ANYTHING about who originally created it. Thanks, John.

I was happily using that site not more than 3 days ago and have been using it for years. What happened to GeoCities?
Falcon Facts is a great site but I wish it was updated with the newer models... |

geocities is owned by Yahoo... they decided to shut it down and push people on to paid hosting.
and thats why we've made copies of the website, because its a fantastic resource. and again why i want to find out who build it, i wouldn't mind updating it but would rather get permission from the original owner first.

Good on you for rescuing it and mirroring it to preserve it for future use.
Pity the original owner/creator might not be as easy to track down as it was to mirror the site! :(

I have known this website very well over the years, so thanks for preserving it! Don't know who made it though.

I also use that site regularly. Thanks for saving it.
 I hope you manage to find the original author because it would be great if it could be updated.
