ZipZaps.com Web Site - No More

Hmmmph.... seems that RS has taken zipzaps.com offline, surfing to that URL brings you to an extremely lame page hosted at RS's main web site... *without* 99% of the content that was on the zipzaps.com site (wallpaper, screensavers, etc...).

CRAP!!! I wanted to snag the very few new wallpaper images and screensavers (one for the MTs comes to mind) that they had uploaded rather recently -

P.S. Just sent an email to RS, prolly either get a robot-reply, or more likely their standard "uhhhhh.... duuhhhh.... eeehhhhh...." type of replies:

I *do* hope that you plan on sometime in the future making available for download all of the numerous wallpaper and screensavers that were available at http://www.zipzaps.com ? After all, there were a few new ones (wallpaper images, as well as screensavers) that were added to http://www.zipzaps.com rather recently (the ZipZaps Monster Trucks screensaver is one that comes to mind, which is one of the several recent downloads that I had not downloaded yet).

Their big sale is hitting the xmods too.... don't be suprised to start seeing them phased out too.

I don't suppose that any of y'all happened to download any of the newer screensavers before the site went missing? I'm not sure of which wallpaper images were added recently (as I hadn't surfed to all of the wallpaper pages at zipzaps.com before the site went offline), but the original URLs for the newer screensaver downloads were:

http://www.zipzaps.com/images/downlo...nstertruck.exe

http://www.zipzaps.com/images/downlo...rs/bondcar.exe

http://www.zipzaps.com/images/downlo...ers/hummer.exe

http://www.zipzaps.com/images/downlo...rs/mustang.exe

What drives me nutz is that those new screensavers that I hadn't downloaded yet (as well as the other afore-mentioned new wallpaper images - which I didn't take note of, and as above, hadn't got around to retrieving) were added rather recently... sometime in early March.
