...I swear this was originally a Brad Jones gallery, but someone's replaced all his images with terrible MS Paint recreations?

A few of the "missing" ones appear to have the same treatment. It'd probably help as well if the people ripping/preserving from other sites at least credit the original authors.

We're still actually looking for the original version of that.

Hi all, have just retrieved my Southern (1982-1999) and BBC International (circa 1973) galleries from an aging CD-R - nice to see there's still interest in the stuff we all did for APFS all those years ago... Southern up first:

Sorry - I got a bit verbose with the title... will add the BBC International one later on.

I have just found that the person who replaced Brad Jones' Meridian images was really an anonymous user.

OK, here's a wee treat for all you APFS fans out there! From early 2003 here's a snapshot of the entire site (minus the forum).

It won't be here for long, so enjoy the trip down memory lane while you can!

Gasp. Thank you so much! I didn't think this could happen!

That's absolutely astonishing, thanks Mark - the nostalgia buzz on loading that front page is remarkable, feels like I'm 14 again! Some of those galleries really are astonishing even over a decade, Mark Boulton's ATV especially - always thought it was a shame it only went up to 1994 but what's there is brilliant.

Just for the love of god don't click on my ATV gallery unless you feel like vomiting Razz It's basically what happens when you let a 12/13 year old loose on a trial version of Paint Shop Pro only for it to expire midway through making the gallery and creating the rest on Microsoft Paint. You can at least see the update I did on the Wiki a few years later which is much more bearable.

Anyone able to find the 1937ish Paté TV mock I mentioned, I was very impressed with it like 10 years ago.

Thanks
