I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but might there be something big coming down the pipeline? A couple big Patty threads on other boards have gone down this week, and at one subsequest attempts to restore their thread have immediately gone down too. Call me a silver lining guy, but is it possible that they are aggressively cracking down on copyright violations because they are about to release something big??

Not sure. Info from a friend that is still a member says that nothing has
been announced. I didn't notice anything unusual lately regarding the updates either (thanks Jim!).
Her forum is down for a couple of days for "reformatting to another
platform," so it could be just a general tightening up of security for the
entire site. Anyone's guess is as good as mine, so we'll see. There are quite a few referral sites that point to hers so it's not like there isn't enough "legal" free stuff available (photos mostly).
We are in tough times though ... everyone's feeling a pinch or two economically, and I would think that webmasters are seeing the general decline of memberships due to this affecting their personal finances.
