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!

hey the other threads about making donations are closed but i just wanted to say i'd like to make a $ contribution if there is a means of doing so .

for a long time I have wanted to take out an esub with sound on sound 12 online issues:
£ 24 (approx. US $3.30 per issue) I will gladly do that late and instead give that money to macmusic and join sos at a later date .

I am always in a rush so can't check the site to C but would a moderator contact me if a secure method of paying has been set up .

lets keep this great resource going .

Thanks again everyone for your support. The secure method to pay will be available about the same time the solution will be ready. And I can tell you it's coming faaaaaast.

meanwhile
