Hi,

I've run into this page when trying to visit good old ps-scripts.com:

Never seen anything similar over the years - has anyone some news about it?

Thanks!

Davide

    I'm afraid Mike L. Hale passed away September 9, 2014:

    In Memory of Michael  Hale -- James A. McAlister Funeral Home, Charleston, SC

    In the above page it's written that Mike has been "...a contributor to ADOBE Photoshop and led an international photo scripting forum" so little doubt about his identity.

    As many others here, I owe him a lot - really sad news. He'll be missed...

    Let's wait for X - I'm sure it is *not* impossible to put together a small group of people willing to maintain (and hopefully recover) the ps-scripts archive. Please count me in.

    oh no, So sad!!   I am another person here who learned SO MUCH From the ps-script forums.  It changed my life.  REALLY it did. 

    Back in 2002 when I discovered scripting, Xbytor and that forum was THE place to go to share information and learn from each other.   As the site grew, so did my abilities.  I started getting respect from fellow production artists and employer as I was getting Photohsop to do things no one thought possible.  As those artists moved around the planet, I started getting calls from other studios asking for automation help, and this led me to my own small business today.

    Thankyou Mike Hale! You helped so many people he helped in so many ways.

    I want to help.  Let me know what I can do.  We need to get this back up in some way/shape/form   If for some reason it needs a new domain home,  I know the owner of PhotoshopScripting.com ...

        I was afraid that that, Davide, with his sudden absence from everything. So sorry to realize that my suspicions were true.

          Mike Hale runs the site and pays the bills there. He has been off the grid since last September. I'll try and get in touch with him or someone in his family this week and see what has happened. I and a couple of others have admin permissions on the site. However, I have no site management skills so my soon be looking for someone in the community who can take over where Mike left off.

              PS-Scripts, Mike, Xbytor and other members have allowed me to push Photoshop far beyond it's traditional capabilities. I know that I'm just brushing the surface of what could be done with the program. It's the incredible abilities of people like Mike and Xbytor that allow the boundaries to keep being pushed to new limits. I hope we have not seen the last of PS-Scripts. If it's a financial issue I for one would be willing to contribute just to get the site back online. Let's not lose this major resource in the scripting community!

              Mike, If you are out there, come back to us!!
