Macmusic, The End Of The Adventure Options

[Francois Déchery]

We may be spoiling your day with the news that has been spoiling ours for quite some time : MacMusic will most probably not be able to continue anymore. Attempts to finance it through advertisements have failed and plans are to close the site in February.

MacMusic in the past...
MacMusic has been thriving for five years thanks to the ongoing dedication of Soif, its founder who was gradually joined by a group of enthusiastic volunteers, known as "the Team".
MacMusic's success -10,000 visits per day - may be forcing the site to close down. The technical and practical means necessary to have a continually accessible and updated tool represent an investment that can no longer be supported, particularly financially speaking. Server, host, contents management, etc. all involve ever growing expenditures of money and time, that are no longer within the team's realm of possibility.

Hopes for the future...
Over the past few weeks, the team has been working on finding a solution that corresponds to the spirit of community underpinning YOUR site. We hope to work out within the next 10 days a proposition that we believe will retain the attention of all those who hope that MacMusic will not just become a good memory...

In this regard we need to know: what do you think about it ?
Your feedback is needed!

Alright Already,

Before anybody gives me the gasface for not reading all the replies you had up to now, let me offer my apologies for just writing off the top of my head.

Of course, as I thought, you have had tons of great ideas thrown at you. Apparently the $60 donation isn't going over too well but it sure sounds good to me. I'd gladly send you guys that to help out... BUT...

The other ideas about getting the software people and other Mac sites to help you financially is great! Where are the banner ads for those programs we all know and love (to hate) Why doesn't this help finance you. They have the money and you have the audience. Thats a marriage made in Netven.

And that site ambitiouslemon.com says they'll do it free and all our talk right now is basically amounting to nothing then huh? Let me know.

I, for one, think its great how many people actually care to give ideas and help to you guys. It shows how much people need you. Keep the funk alive.

Me ; }
