I agree, though like many others here I also fall in the category of "if I had the money & technical skills..." I have been doing the data entry to the discography database as well as many other great volunteers here and I hope to continue working on that under whoever the new owner(s) may be.

My only fear is if it is bought by the band or let's just say, an official body, as they most likely would ditch the archival material and just use it to promote the latest release which I think would be a waste but that's business I guess.

I recall when there were bandwidth issues (and no doubt this will be an issue under new ownership again since even Marty & Lis couldn't afford the dedicated server, hence the supporting ledgies) it was mainly the Chit Chat board that ate up most of it and Marty did tell me (which I was surprised about though I must admit I don't know all the tech stuff) that the discog only takes up a fraction of the space. I thought it'd be the other way around with new pages being added all the time (or I should say hopefully will be added if it does continue & I'm allowed to continue working on it under new leadership and I can finish building up the existing entries, there's been tech issues Marty's looking at over the last month so that's why no updates to it since then) so hopefully if nothing else if no one buys the whole thing that maybe the parts that take the most room could be shaved off to cut down costs as well? Just a thought for the new buyers I guess.

I don't know what the "deadline" on this is but here's hoping something gets worked out soon in some way.
