I've looked everywhere and yes i've even followed the link the in the CoP sticky but the archive comes up blank and empty. Anyone at all out there able to please connect me with a working file? I'm looking for it because i'm interested in his process of becoming a beholder mage without being a beholder per say.

I have been trying to google it up for you, but with no succes.. I'm affraid it got lost when the TO-board ceased to exist.
But I believe he was using an Elan purchasing a Polymorp any Object spell to become a Beholder permanently and he used the Assume Supernatural Ability feat from Savage Species (..or metamrpic transfer from expanded psionics I'm not sure) to gain the anti-magic eye (wich you have to put out for the pre-requisites of beholder mage).

Yep.
White Screen Of Death, for the reason Xoraxx said.

Generic build into Beholder Mage:
Psion or Erudite or PsyWar 5 / something 1 / Beholder Mage X
MT feat at 5th level bonus, and at 6th level. Pay for the PAO(s) at 6th level.
Crush alot.

If your google-fu is high enough, they might "cache" it sooner or later.
You have to find it via:
boards1.wizards.com/archive
boards1.wizards.com/wotc_archive
forums.gleemax.com/archive
forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive
and there's even another, that I've forgotten,
and then something close to the original title,
and click google's "cache" button.

That's how I found LoP's Omni OP, and most of the second page of the archive posts.
Didn't get Caelic's objection to the Omni. Too Bad.
Things might've calmed down enough by now to discuss it rationally.

Consensus seems to be the base character needed to be an Elan.

The original used two PAOs, having the second casting make it permanent since the first casting gives you all the appropriate types.

webarchive has a copy. I'm not gonna make it a link, in case they get all block happy or something. Just copy the latter http://etc. portion into their search engine.

Yeah, the board's new coding seems to convert all http strings to a direct link.

Awesome! Now we can salvage all the old goodies from TO! And Epic! And Psionics! At least if we can find the links...

Salvage sure, but I would definitely suggest backing them up or something(at least, extracting the core of the thread, even if not the whole), just in case the archive decides there's too many requests for them.
