...is down.
Anyone know what's up? I'd hate to lose the best web resource on the Silver Age Legion permanently.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

It's been down for a few days. I click on it every day for information on some bit character like Modulus, and it's very disheartening!

Alas, they've disbanded it permanently in order to pursue other interests. I will miss it terribly. But thank you Jo and Terri-Anne for the many years of enjoyment I got out of it.

Maybe you could contact them and ask if you can still copy the pages. I'm not sure if I'm authorized to give out their email address, but you could send them a message through my message board (which they created for me) at the address below.

I'm sorry to see their site go. I hadn't visited it in years, but it was fun and creative, and full of their love for the Silver Age Legion.

Was their's the site that you accessed by piloting Cosmic Boy in a Time Bubble through the Time Stream? (I always thought that was an excellent homepage idea.) What a shame to lose it, if so. I didn't visit it much but did happen to go there just last week. I'm glad I got to check it out one last time before it went.

Something about using the Wayback Machine to find information on a site that you had to click on a Time Bubble to access in the first place is very meta...

Given the huge amount of work that obviously went into the site's creation, I'd have to think the only reason they would take it down (rather than simply leave it un-updated) would be
money to maintain the pager/server
fear of lawsuit/lack of time to defend against it.
changes in web technology slowly causing it to break, and lack of time to keep up.
Of the three, I'd think the first is most likely, and ... well ... if people wanted it that badly, maybe someone could contact them about how they'd respond if fans of the site took up a collection, or enough people pledged to split the monthly server fee?

None of the above. They're about to publish a novel and want to distance themselves from LSH and have their internet identity be about their own creative work rather than DC's. I'll ask Jo if he wants to come on here and explain his motives himself.

Well, I can totally understand that, but, man, I hate to lose a lot of the groovy info that was on the site!
What I'd like to do, if they'll give us permission, is to archive a lot of the info from site in the Encyclopedia Galatica forum on this site.

I wish I'd known ahead of time, so I could've of saved copies of all the pages.
