What Happend to the original Hydrostream registry?

Where did the original International registry go? I know there is a current one on hydrostream dot com but what happened to the original one? Why is there only a couple of entry's on the current site? Just curious.

Unfortunately Mark Casper, who owned Hydrostream dot org, aka the Hydrostream Registry, decided it was time to move on as he hadn't been into the hydrostream scene in many years and once day I went to do a routine server backup and noticed he removed every file from the server (I had been hosing .org for years for free for him) without any word/notice. I reached out to him and this it what I got...

Yeah, I tried sending you a message through your forum a couple of days ago but I guess it didn't go through? I decided to transition my domain name and site information to a friend who is going to breathe new life into it. He also owns hydrostream.com. In my message, I was letting you know that I was transferring the files off your server onto his. My interest just isn't in Hydrostreams anymore. I am still very much into boats but I am now working on and restoring boats and motors from the 1950's. I think he will take very good care of it and will really freshen it up since I have neglected it for quite a few years now.

I want to THANK YOU very much for allowing my information to reside on your server. It has been very much appreciated! I wish you the very best!

Regards,
Mark

That friend is Tiger Summers, who now has the rights to the Hydrostream name and owns and runs Hydrostream dot com. This took place back in 2021 when Mark removed the entire .org site. I wish he would have given me more heads up but what do ya do.

With that, I am working on a few things to pick up where .org left off. So if you have any ideas what you thing would be great to see here, I am all ears and open to suggestions.

So does Tiger have the files to old registry or was it lost when Mark deleted the files and left?

I dont know what all Tiger has. I am however though working on some stuff for here. Just taking time with my job, the kid and school stuff. Im working on things though.
