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

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.

Sad news indeed. I wanted to go through the site just today and noticed it was down. Like Eryk, I was hoping it was just a fluke.
I'll second a thanks to the Sannings. It was a great site with a lot of heart and fun ideas put in it.

I wish I'd known ahead of time, so I could've of saved copies of all the pages. It will definitely be missed!

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 noticed it was down a few days ago and was instantly fearful it might be permanent.
I think this is a horrible blow to the Legion's presence on the internet.
Their site was so thorough and fun... they put a lot of heart and soul into it obviously... I wish they would reconsider.

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.

I mostly used it for the Rogue's Gallery, and would love to see it preserved somehow. I should probably check if it's archived on the Wayback Machine, although that can be such a slow slog to access with my home internet. Here\'s the last snapshot I can find, from July 2011. It doesn't include the Rogue's Gallery, so I'm gonna keep spelunking. Something else else 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...

Hmmm.... Terrible news. 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 just wish they hadn't ended it so abruptly. Jo said there was an announcement that the end was near on the site, but I never saw it.
You can write them and ask, EDE.

This just in from Jo and Terri-Anne: Hi, everyone! We just wanted to give a big thank you for all your kind words about us and our former website. As well, we wanted to clarify our reasons for wanting to retire it after more than a decade. What Jim said above about us wanting to pursue other interests is true. Please know that it was not our intention to deprive anyone of their enjoyment of our efforts. (To be honest, we didn't expect it to be missed all that much, as there are other online encyclopedias around these days that did not exist when we started our site). But as we move into publishing our own works, we hope you'll respect our desire to not have so extensive a collection of our personal review and commentary writings as seen in any way as promoting what is essentially another publisher's property. That said . Eryk, thank you for asking our permission to distill some of the information that appeared on our site-and which for the time being still exists in cached form on the internet-in order to put some of it on the forums you mention. To that end, Jim has our okay to PM you our email addy so we can go over a few provisions we'd like to make first. Even with these omissions, though, it's no small task you're undertaking, Eryk, but we thank you for your dedication. To all our supporters, sincerest thanks and best wishes, - J & T

Hmmm...do you think Jo and Teri would object to me hosting their old site here? I was thinking of converting www.longlivethelegion.com to something like what they accomplished and it would be nice to just use what they had already built as a starting point.

Did anyone happen to save the images from this site before it closed? Specifically the images that are not showing in the Wayback Machine link? Right now I really need the Superboy head-shot from this page. It's for a Comic-Con related item, so I need it soonish.

Is it a blown up one of Superboy from this page?
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Correct. But that one is too small.

It's here - http://antimonitorhqsv1.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/s-de-superboy-parte-i.html - probably taken from the dead site, but 240x240 still isn't exactly huge for print. Wouldn't it be better to ID the original source/issue for it?
