Because I'm now into the early 2000s in my internet history series, I'm encountering some websites that aren't accessible in Wayback Machine...because they were made from . BowieNet v2 was heavily Flash-based, so it was very difficult to find screenshots. Quite frustrating that Flash was so poorly archived — even the Ruffle open source Flash Player emulator struggles with these old Flash sites.

@leahkardos.bsky.social I'm wondering if you have any screenshots of BowieNet version 2.0 in your archives? Because it was a very Flash-based site, it's not accessible in Wayback Machine. In my research I came across your BowieNet thread on ex-Twitter, so thought I'd ask :) https://x.com/LeahKardos/status/1640701706085253122/
