Anyhow, looky what I found recently... not just pre-Teh, but also pre-NPCFF... file modified date is 24 April 2001.

Don't recall who drew it though. Might have been Simon Roberts, but I think it was someone else.

Back row: Chris or Izziwizzi ? ; LordPaul ? ; EnglishPaul ; Mikee ; Simon R ; Greg ; Chris Byers ? ; Truffy or Rendle ? ; Luke

Front row: Ant or Sulkpot ? ; J1se or Endo ; Milko ? ; Fozza or Ixion ? ; Andy ; Yve

Plenty missing from there though - I don't recall if there was another image that included them, but there were definitely a fair few more regulars. It's a shame Rowan & Xen's bestiary went AWOL.

Anyone remember the URL? I wonder if Waybackmachine ever crawled it, would be amusing to look through that again.

Anywho, I'm still kicking around. Turned 40 last month, still married and living in Scotland for over 10 years now (North of Aberdeen). Work wise, I'm a Service Manager for an IT company these days.

There's also msg:25886.2 in Jul 2005 which identifies http://www.tehforum.co.uk/bestiary/index_flash.php and later on msg:25886.81 from August 2005 where another server issue resulted in a 2003 version getting uploaded to https://www.tehforum.co.uk/bestiary/index.php and a month later msg:27222.12 says it was at https://www.tehforum.co.uk/~bestiary/index.php

Oh and back in Jun 2003 msg:6658.1 says it was previously http://www.bestiary.tk/

I would check all those on Wayback Machine, but my ISP is currently flagging archive.org IPs as "adult" and forgetting that I disabled all crappy filtering previously, so I'll try later.

Even if it's not on WM, I will live in eternal hope of the small chance that someone realizes they either downloaded http://rowan.no-ip.org/bestiary/best.zip or perhaps have bestiary.xml in a browser cache on an old hard drive or something.

Unfortunately, no data. Every time I've tried to grab the flash file or whatever, I'm told it wasn't grabbed. I do have an old PC in the cupboard, maybe at some point I'll try resurrecting it to see if there's anything there, wouldn't get your hopes up though. I don't have a copy of the zip file anyway.
