I have already downloaded all the missions. What I am going to miss are the links to the message boards when playing old missions looking for help. Sorry to see it go.
This thread on the forum should give you the links : Fan Mission Listing by Type (upgraded).

Has anyone heard back from the Thiefmissions owner?
Well there are plenty of other sites where one can download FMs but none of them has such a download statistic like Thiefmissions had. And he hosted many walkthrus which aren't accessible anymore. :(

Searches/Indexes are there
(

(
http://thiefmissions.com/search.cgi?search=bath&sort=release#m)
The files are there, I don't remember which mission I recently "saved linked as" but the zips are there.
But the specific mission info pages are broken, only I'm thinking there is something wrong with the server that's not rendering those pages correctly.
Here is the source for "Bathhouse" info [Cheap Thief Mission Downloads.html]:

.head { font-weight: bold }

Maybe someone here is savvy enough to see what might not be working. It might simply be a matter of rebooting the server. IDK

I have all the T1/TG walkthroughs that were hosted on Thiefmissions. I could post them all, does anybody have any of the T2 thiefmission walks?
If so we could open a new thread specifically dedicated to old TM walks which nickie could place in the FM links.

I don't seem to be getting through using those links. But that could be because of my AdBlock or VPN.
Maxrebo6 on 7/12/2016 at 04:44
The walkthrough links work for me and I use Adblock.I hope whatever is wrong with Thief Mission is fixed.I really loved that site.Good thing I made my FM list before the site went down,so I now which order I want to play my missions in.
Though I should ask is there a place where the missions are listed in chronological order of release ?

Indeed there is. (
http://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/thief2missions.html) Taffer's Paradise displays missions chronologically for all three Thief games and TDM. It's served me well as a substitute for Thiefmissions.com.

For the record, I emailed epithumia a few days ago and have gotten no response. He used to spend several months a year on holiday in Norway (his wife is from there if memory serves) so it's possible that's happening now.
Renault on 7/12/2016 at 15:54
I messaged him a few times on Steam, and got no response there either. Sadly it could just be that he's not interested in maintaining the site anymore, he hasn't posted here for several years (although he did log on back in May).
