Thank you! This was a remarkably easy icon to do, thanks to your suggestion about the rosebud.
Sorry to be so long about replying; but I have been madly busy this week trying to save as many cached webpages as I can from Forever Knight sites that were on Fortune City. Madly, because cached pages disappear eventually, so I had to work fast.
I could wring their bloody necks. The only warning seems to have been a banner telling people to convert their old Fortune City sites to paid sites. They must have run this for a remarkably short time, and moreover parked it up with the ads at the top—which people always look at, of course.
Perversely, I had actually visited a Fortune City site more than once last month: Mr. Happy's, to check the Affililations FAQ (as my post above indicates). However, the banner didn't appear, since it was a text page. In fact, it was when I tried to look at it on Tuesday that I learned what had happened: I got sent to "Dotster.com"'s page, instead.
At least I know I have Mr. Happy's complete and safe, since I saved it specially back in 2010, after GeoCities disappeared. However, until I try putting together the pages I got off Google's cache, I'll not know how many others I've got—mostly, I fear, in only a semi-complete state. I hope there may be about a dozen sites and individual pages that will be fit to send to Steph to put in the FK Website Archive.
With a week's advance notice, I could have saved them all in their entirety. There were never that many on Fortune City.
