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! The MacMusic Team

I agree with Holly in that music technology companies are not keen on supporting places where they have their products openly criticized or sometimes even bashed. Personally, when I visit macmusic I take a short look at the news section (to see if Digital Performer for X is out  ) and then go to the forum. What about a poll where users can vote for the sections they would like to keep. Then you could sort out unnecessary stuff in order to make the site (and the expenditure) smaller. Bigger is not necessarily better. Also,  do we  really  need these animated gifs in the forums?! Or the avatars?! Getting rid of those would take away strain from the server. A forum without the expendable visuals would certainly be better than no forum at all. If this sounds a little helpless I must admit that's what I am. What is the name of your ISP? Does it already support your site? Where are its banners? Greetings and thanks for all the great work!!! JV
