When it comes to moving, the list of purchases to make it all possible just begins to grow and grow. And grow. And then you think you have enough of everything when it turns out that you don’t. So even though you did a really great job at rustling up boxes anywhere and everywhere you can find them, you still find yourself running to Lowe’s three and four times for just a couple more…and then just a couple more.Household Items that You Can Use as Packing Material] the front article on TRAVELLER FREE PORT

http://www.travellerfreeport.com/ I went to this link in the tarport page and well Ann Landers Packaging material was there and not all the nifty Trav stuff I remember....

Looks like its been hijacked, or left to rot and simply taken over.

Try this page: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160711192906/http://www.travellerfreeport.com/

Last snapshot on Archive.org with this information is July 11, 2016. October 6 shows a blank page, then October 11's snapshot shows the page we see now about packing material.

Possibly the site was bought out.

Or the fees for maintaining the site were not paid, and they put placeholders in to make a smidgen of pay on the URL pending someone paying off to acquire/reactivate.

I have been accessing the versions on Archive.org. I think I checked the normal url once and it appeared to me at that time to be a dead site. It was just there but there was no evidenced that it was being maintained or updated. So it was probably just a matter of time before someone brought/took over the url.

I just got word from Peter Trevor you guys has been asking about Traveller Freeport.
I regretfully has to inform you I have let the webpage lapse as there is several years since I added something to it. I have not been able to keep up with Traveller the last few years as other more interesting projects has taken my time.

There is value in the site. For those who are interested in oldie stuff there are copies of ABBP, Kfan Uzangou, Tiffany Star fanzines on the site as well as some HIWG docs...
