Old DVXUSER articles' stuff is apparently down/gone for now...

[Emanuel]

DVXUSER has always been a priceless basis for resources collected by many authors who have made this place along these past two decades.

Where's the content of those articles?

https://www.dvxuser.com/forum/off-topic/the-vault/articles-aa

Two examples:

by Barry Green
https://www.dvxuser.com/forum/off-topic/the-vault/articles-aa/185827-relative-depth-of-field

This is history and part of the patrimony of this website.

Any help?

I've always stressed that DVXuser (and some other similar forums) are absolutely gold mines of video and audio technology knowledge & history. They should be protected at all costs because there are no other places that have such documented discussions and experiences with technology as people were living through it. YouTube got going a few years after its launch, but still nothing compared to the written words on forums.

After the major DVXuser update in 2021 it appears some of those articles (etc) were lost (at least for the public but they might still be archived somewhere).

Agreed. DVXuser is a virtual Library of Alexandria and its contents should be preserved.
