All I'm getting is a 403 Forbidden error.
Anyone know what's up with the site?

Someone posted he had sold off all his games a couple weekends ago.
Please say it isn't so. 
And wouldn't he offer them for sale here or to some local KLOVers he knows? I actually picked up a monitor from him ~3 months ago (smoking deal, thanks again but I digress). I always ask, "Is anything for sale?" as I know the quality of his collection and nothing was as of then. I know he recently had a kid and his priority was family, but if he "got out" that would be a very shocking development.Yes, I saw that, too. I hope not...Francis was an excellent resource. Surely if the machines had been sold off a la' Lunacity...wouldn't another collector know about it and pipe up?
I heard that he was contacted by Leonardo DiCaprio about the new Atari movie and agreed to lend the entire Ataricade inventory to the production. As the story goes, Leo would play the games often during breaks between shoots. When the arcade scenes had all wrapped and Francis began arranging to bring the games home Leo offered him a flat $1M for the entire collection. The offer was accepted and the Ataricade cleaned out. Francis took the empty game room as an opportunity to shift his focus. He immediately began buying pristine versions of Ms. Pacman, Tron, Mortal Kombat and other Midway games, and is currently designing the Midwaycade gameroom and website. But I'm not one to gossip so...
I heard he was wack'd by a secret ram controls operative for knowing too much![]()
He is not out of the arcade collecting. I spoke with him about 10 days ago. Not sure why the site is down tho...
