I've been seriously looking for these pages. Thanks for sharing. Long live Fravia.

+fravia produced so much worthwhile content without so much as a single ad. He is sorely missed. It's why I always laugh when people say the Internet needs ads to survive. It was doing just fine before ads became so pervasive.

  Fravia wasn't doing it as a job

    That's true, but making a living from it is not everyone's end goal. If you aren't doing it as a job, you can focus on quality, not on maximizing clicks. There's absolutely no way quality can ever compete with thousands of underpaid click farmers. Google is steadily getting smarter, but even they can't keep up.

I'm glad his legacy lives on. Even though I'd already been hacking (Spectrum) games for infinite lives from the age of around 12 or so I learned so much from him, and the various contributors. RIP +Fravia.

Jeez, where's the tribute page/retro-computing documentary on this guy? I remember these pages fondly from a decade or more ago and I have looked for them from time to time in the past few years without luck. But I don't know anything about Fravia (other than what's on his "about" page. Did he actually pass away?

Same experience here. I'm always shocked about the impact that small things, like coming across one of those pages when I was a teenager, can have on someone's life.
