I want the whole dame thing to stay.

i think most people do too. but it is a huge financial burden to take on the whole site.
people are only speaking hypothetically.

The archives of old interviews and the huge discography are priceless.

agreed.

and the last thing this place would ever need would be more ways to eat up bandwith -- aka more forums, imo.

Sounds like a new Poll to me, which to save?

But seriously, you can look at this sale as the end of something great, or as the potential to build upon something that is as fabulous as Penguin Inc. is. Yes, there more than likely will be some slight changes if a new owner does step forward, but that doesn;t mean that all of a sudden things are going to change for the negative.

I know that change, when something is as solid as Penguin Inc., is a scary premiss but I am sure that Marty and Lisa will take a hard look at the buyer and determine part of their decision on who can best manage the "company". I really don;t think that they would like to see ALL of these years (it was 1995 right) thrown instantly away. Have faith in change, and keep in mind that the change is determined by the ones who have built the ledgcy.

Just keep that in mind.

...well, that might be your opinion, but mine is that this place could really use some more forums.

I don't neccesarily think more forums, but rather a different way to organize them would be more feasable.... Although I think the way it is, is already fine.

And Carrie, about the financial thing, I do agree, I'm just thinking that it would be a lot less intimidating if a group of people knew they were doing it together. I do think though, that the best thing would be just to have a solitary owner.

We are just having a little family trouble at the moment, so I am just a little out of my mind at the moment. It was a heck of a stressful day..... Sorry.

Like I did say though, I prefer the way we already have it. It is very nice and simple, I am just looking at both sides' perspective if you will.

Ethan...how else would you organize them? I mean, really, they're pretty well defined as is - except for 'chit chat', which has alot of discussions about other artists that would be easier to keep track of if they were in their own forum.

Pictures of Stevie and demos/live shows get totally lost in the Stevie forum after a couple of days...so, yeah, 'organizing' them into their own forum might make it easier to find stuff without searching through countless other topics.

I say WE, the members, at least attempt to try to raise the money ourselves to save this beautiful world of ours.

I know that may be 'wishful thinking', but it is a thought...
