Thanks for the thoughts and update! I’m glad to hear that RSO is still around. ---

I was trying to use the RSO website as a reference because they had a huge write up on shore hardness for pads and other info, and I’m trying to get some custom pads made and was confused when the website didn’t work. Between that and the huge silver bullet write up on there it’s a shame the site is down I would have backed that stuff up to the yoyo archive or something if I had known the site was going to go down. At least now I know why I couldn’t find that info. ---

You could probably use something like the wayback machine to find the pad info ---

I agree that archiving information is a valuable service. There are brands that are still actively on-line where information about recent releases is unavailable once they sell out. Depending on the platform, even a website with no new content planned can rack up hosting and maintenance costs just to keep it secure. There is some RSO information on the Museum of Yo-Yo History website: > **[Museum of Yo-Yo History](https://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php?action=view&manufacturer=Round%20Spinning%20Objects&category=1)** > > You have found the most comprehensive archive of yo-yo images, historical memorabilia, and information in the world. Whether you're a long-time yo-yo collector, or just looking for that long lost treasure from your childhood, this is the place. In... And on the Yo-Yo Archive website: > **[Round Spinning Objects - The Yoyo Archive](https://yoyoarchive.org/?s=Round%2BSpinning%2BObjects)** Hopefully, companies that can’/don’t want to maintain their own site will continue to make the information available elsewhere. ---

> [@hsb](#): > > There are brands that are still actively on-line where information about recent releases is unavailable once they sell out This really pains me, I love nerding-out with research. They just seem to think “idk, it was just a YoYo, what’s the big deal? Look here’s some more”. Like classic cars, just because there are new ones doesn’t mean the old ones don’t matter anymore. History is human, it’s interesting, no matter how niche. And also for dedicated collectors it can leave big gaps in verified info ---
