Black Viper mirrored

MajorGeeks.com has put up a mirror of Black Viper's services configuration page!
http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12

 

Nice, I was using the wayback machine archive http://web.archive.org/web/20040210040010/www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm but the Major Geeks server is much faster. I wonder what happened to BV?

 

Rumor has it that he just has it down for a big update, but there's no solid info that I've found, so who knows?

An almost full site mirror. Sadly, most images don't work, external links don't work (for now, not much time to fix; I have to study for my five upcoming exams), and some pages couldn't be found. (I used Archive.org)

Took me quite a while to clean everything up and fix the links. (Around 5 hours)

As the notice says on the top and bottom of every page I managed to get:

 

Wow Kye, very nice job, thanks for putting the time into that! I am sure many people will appreciate it, as BV’s site is defiantly a most useful resource.

 

Thank you Matt ^_^

You can say I'm a sort of procrastinator when it comes to school...*cough*

I hope Black Viper won't mind this mirror. I tried to make sure every single page I got had the Mirror notice in the header and footer so that it doesn't seem like it's just a rip of his site without any credit due. This is what consumed so much of my time

 

Good job Kye-U. Thanks

 

I had to take the mirror down because of this little part of his Legal page:

I'm a newbie when it comes to legal issues, so I'd prefer to be safe.

 

Maybe this quote can help you:

Thanks Firecat!

I am going to E-Mail Black Viper (if it helps) notifying him of what I'm doing.

EDIT: I've emailed him and the mirror is back up

 

That's cool, huh, Kye-U!?!

You also did a really good job on your mirror!

Hello Kye-U,

The absence of the BV site has set off a lot of speculation as to whether the BV site will come back and debates about the merits/downside of Services tweaking, an example: http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=45468

Do you have any info as to what BV's intentions are?

ZCV, I believe Services tweaking is beneficial.

I mean, who'd want UPnP and Messenger and Remote Registry set to Automatic?

Also, for those calling Black Viper, "QuackViper":

They don't understand how a computer works and should probably learn a bit more before attempting to tweak it. They have no right assigning a silly alias to Black Viper just because they don't know how to use a computer.

I have no information on the BlackViper.com domain issue: whether it would come back or not. I'm just a guy who decided to preserve the site that helped me so much in getting more control over my computer. I have no connections to Black Viper. (You can call me a supporter if you want)

 

Thanks, Kye-U

And thanks to Blackviper too

 

Yes, of course you're right.

Ok, and thanks for the reply.

Regards - Charles

 

The topic at Broadband Reports got closed due to some people going off-topic.

So far, for the mirror, I have added a few more pages that were previously missing, added missing thumbnail images and updated the main page.
