Referring to this thread: /forum/index.php?showtopic=825

Facts:
I don't have the time for this site anymore...
The concept may or may not be legal
Added focus from the music "mafia"

Conclusion:
Site closes down at January 31st 2006. If anyone want's to buy the domain / database it is possible. The price is set to €200/$250 for Cairde. At least twice as much for anyone else. If someone decides to buy it I can give the following info; Hosting not included, Forum license is expired but is legal to use, ads revenues from 30 -> 90$ per month.

Well, Bj�rn, in any case, thanks a lot for keeping up this site for all those years... It was fun...

I see I'm enlisted from 13 april 2003... That's about the longest time I ever was enlisted in a forum... Almost three years... I can hardly believe it myself. And I never saw any of you guys, that's the strangest of all things. All other forums I post in is of people I know in non-virtual life... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Anyway:

Bj�rn and all the rest of you (Cairde)...

For everything:


THANKS

I wish there was a 'smilie' of one applauding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We could all send it to Bjorn at the same time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Or a 'smilie' that sings "for he's a jolly good fellow" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But I thought the issue here was the legality of the music...why is the politics suddenly thrown off? That's one of the things that made this site what it is....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnywayyy, that's MY 2 cents. It's just sad.

Well... sad to see the site close as ist is now...
Let's hope the relaunched site can restore the "lyrics part" of this site.

Thank you Bj�rn, for running this site, for all the effort, for writing the plugins and arranging the
forum to make it a comfortable place to stay.

Tusen takk!! Jeg synes du er fantastisk! (IMG:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y147/mon_da_hoops/Smilies/hail.gif)
Jeg gleder meg til � m�te deg til http://cairde.roidsear.de (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And thanks to all the other moderators and people who provided help and suggesstions...

As mentioned above, I have put up a small forum to provide a place at least for Cairde to
continue where we left here. It's a small free forum, but I think it will do, at least for the start.
Let's see what will happen in the future.

The site can be found at:

http://cairde.roidsear.de

Hope to see you soon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Go mbeirimid beo ag an am seo ar�s!

I agree this is such a great forum to discuss political opinions! It'd be a shame if we lost it!

Well, I guess we can say that you have lost it. There should be plenty other forums where you can discuss politics.

Janus,

I bought a lyrics site which has a lot of potential.

The forum is a part of the site which only a tiny community use (comparing statistics for the forum and the other parts of the site). It is not important for the site to have a forum, but it will remain for now.

Without taking sides...

Janus bought a site called celtic-lyrics.com
If he wants to remove the political part of the forum, it's his decison and as the site owner he has every right to do so. We have to accept that.

I think a forum still makes sense for a lyrics-only site to share chords and tabs, to discuss musical matters in general or to provide translations for the lyrics.

For those who still want to have a place to discuss political topics, I put up a new forum on http://cairde.roidsear.de .

So I think no one should be unhappy with that solution or even blame Janus for changing the site structure.


That's my two cents,
