I want to repeat the request to check your browser caches and maybe
even backups
you might have of this or anything you saved - especially the forum,
which is personally
my main concern.
I already think about re-opening a forum. This time we should make
sure that
nothing like this happens. The Bootlegzone Auction Team gathered money
to
make the purchase of tapes possible - a fine example what trust and a
sense of
community can do. Why not doing the same to get us our own forum/zone?
Or even better: Our own server. With a membership-fee low enough for
everybody
to bear and and high enough to maintain the costs. And only open to
members,
so the Blue Meanies won`t be able to give us shit. A private fan-club
so to say.
One that doesn`t need a licence to serve alcohol nor to trade boots if
that is
what it brought down.
Please reply to: "***@gmx"
And don`t forget to add ".de" to the end.
As for the costs: Yeah, tilleul did a lot of us running this site all
the years.
There has been discussion how to maintain it and one try to solve this
was
the adding of a donation-button, a paypal affair IIRC. However this
button
was out of function a long time - even IF someone wanted to donate it
wouldn`t have been possible. I`m amazed of the action taken by tilleul
as not too long ago when the forum was hacked a new version was
installed
within in day or two without any message or lifesign from whoever did
it.
So why did he (have to?) end being a good angel if you allow me this
comparision? I think there are other reasons than just lacking care.
