The end of an era. What are the implications of Loomis not being readily available to newcomers anymore? I was just about to share these books to someone, this site is also where it all started for me too the site going 404 really feels like a dear old friend just died today. Hold me /ic/.

You can still find the book elsewhere. I think it was out of print when they made that website so they put the books up there to preserve them and spread the good word of Loomis. Now that's not an issue since they're back in print and uploaded to a bunch of different sites. It's the end of an era but the website served its purpose well.

You could just... use archive to download the actual books. They're public domain.
No need to use the way back machine to use a very specific site to get them.

Is Loomis public domain or not? His books still have another 10-15 years, no?

Surely they're public domain, you can view/download them from wikipedia for crying out loud!

Then what is Wikipedia doing? I'm pretty sure they check their stuff when it comes to images and such; probably more so with pdfs of books.
