Sadly its all thats left

The disappearance of him and his site is very strange indeed.

I did a time ago a search for his real name in the main spanish telephone company guide, and found nothing in Villaviciosa or the Madrid province, except only one in Madrid city. This is not conclusive, as his telephone could be now on other company, or not included by express order (or perhaps he moved to the city, but I feel it unlikely for the comments on his site). No notices since short before his wedding makes me fear the worst (car crash or something...).

that is what happens here... if something bad happen to anybody, nobody will know it...

Hope that no news does not mean bad news.

I have some addons from Bruckner's site: if it can help, i can post those stuffs somewhere, for a while...
Billybob has began to mirror some of them on his site(Mike Celestia), no?
Jeam

Someone could transform the 1440X720 textures of some Uranus moons like Oberon,Ariel in 1024X512 usable files.I don?t think this is too difficult!
And post more Bruckner files

I'm pretty sure his real name is like Ivan (accent on the a) Riveria, or soemthing close to that. He left for his honeymoon quite some time ago (september or october, 2001 or 2002?). I e-mailed him about 3-4 times from the time he left to 6 months after. I never did get a reply, not even an undeliverable e-mail notice. So he must have got them, maybe deleted them or something. There must be a reason. Maybe there was a similiar case like what happened with Rass, like something drove him away. Except for the fact that Rass came back.

I did my fair bit of digging, and found no Iv?n Rivera anywhere in spain. For the heck of it, i searched the US and found 59 of them. I also remembered when he left, I think he said something about coming to hte US for his honeymoon. Who knows, maybe they decided to stay. Well, I will continue my search for him. Here is the link to the 59 listings I found online: http://kevdb.infospace.com/_1_21EFTUJ04 ... vera&QF=Iv?n&KCFG=us&ran=27168
Also, if you just search Rivera you will get over 250 matches...

have you called any of them?

PS I have the texturs converted, and will be uploading them later

This is a link to a newer archive of his site:

For my catalogue, i have quoted a list page when his site was on.
http://jeam.tag.free.fr/CELESTIAhtml/Bruckner-list.htm
If it can help...
I must have some of the addons, too
Jeam

the page works at least, but none of the links....

Maby I will try to rebuild his site, insted of trying to use "The WayBack Muchine" internet time machine to get there.

I have recompiled moast of Bruckners site at:

http://www.bruckner.50megs.com

Almoast allthe links to the addons are broken, so if somone point me in the direction of WORKING links to his add-ons I will put them at this new site

Few typo's on the about me page: Iv????n Rivera and Od????n

Yes, and certain items' comments appear in curious hieroglyphs too!
So: many guys -like me- have the listing. The question is: Can we post somewhere the addons herselves, like those that i've send to you, Mike? In other words, the people who preserved the addons indexed on this list could send them some share, where we could reconstitute great parts of Bruckner's site?
... Not all of them, of course: some creators, maybe , woudn't see ancient stuffs online yet (Arf: what is the 'Thoros' Addons by Rass? Never find it for example)
But it seems to me that it is possible, isn't it?

This probably is due to wrong encoding. Star Lion, could you try replacing



with



in the HTML-Header, and check if this helps?

I'm not really sure what your asking...

Send the add-ons to auscreely at:

Auscreely@aol.com

he will add them back to the reconstruction of bruckners site
P.S. Do you like the new look?

Does anybody ahave a preserved "Galery" Page
I will add it if somebody does
