I'm aware of the history of mods.dk.  Unfortunately, I have not been
able to access the site reliably ever since they went to registrations
(and am aware of many others in the same situation) to the extent that
I no longer bother trying the site.  The same material can often be
found on other much more "user friendly" sites.
