It seems that this "Veralsi Bonus" website closed in 2015, so I could see some Ron Wilson's pictures (certainly taken from here) after his account was deleted in 2008.
Is there any archive or anything else of his account on Anime OTK ? Or any way to contact him ?

If I was being conservative I'd say about 60% of all of Veralsi's total content was harvested from AotK and our artists. If I was being more liberal I'd say closer to 75% of the total images was harvested from here. Yes, his website had a diverse variety of albums but most of them were small amounts of unsorted images (like four or five per album, mostly empty) from various blogs or chans. The albums with dozens or hundreds of images in all came from here and that made up the raw mass bulk.
I'm not really commenting about Ron Wilson - he doesn't interest me, sorry - I'm commenting on Versalsi and suggesting not to get your hopes up that even if you got ahold of his galleries you'd find images not already in circulation on the other sites you mentioned. If you're able to access via wayback machine etc other sites from the same time you'll find Veralsi had exactly the same images and no more. I also wouldn't get suckered by his pages of thumbnails on the 'join us' advertising.
I'll take the point about Handprince. Either I'm misremembering (quite possible) or they've also removed a lot of Ron Wilson's content over the last decade. I did think that they had a whole lot more than two galleries but if they didn't and don't anymore then fair comment.
To the query about whether we have an archive: I can say we don't have any of Ron Wilson's stuff. He asked us to get to remove it and we did. And it wouldn't be kosher to share any archive anyway. It'd be really crappy to go handing out anything he asked us to remove.
How to get in contact with him? Honestly I haven't even heard his name mentioned for about four years before you started this thread. He's not exactly current and on-trend. I'm afraid none of the mods or I would have the first clue, sorry.
