EVEN MORE IMPORTANT SITE NEWS (This time it's good!)
First Final Farewell?
As you're all no doubt aware, on Tuesday last week I decided that the time had come to close the torrent part of my website for various personal reasons. I felt that things were coming to a natural close and other external pressures made me think that it was time to call it a day.
What I wasn't expecting was the sheer number of comments on Facebook, by email and on the website itself by people expressing their sadness that it was ending. Some offered to take it on themselves and nearly every message I read was positive. I really didn't realise how much it meant to so many people.
On Tuesday, I said that we'd had over a million completed downloads in 10 years. Since then I have seen that go up by over 1000 downloads a day and have had numerous calls for an extenison to the closure date so that people had time to grab some recordings.
I have been genuinly moved by the messages I've received from fans and well wishers and some of the circumstances that were leading me to close the site have changed, at least for now.
So without beating around the bush any longer, I'm pleased to say that the site will be staying where it is and won't be closing any time soon.
I will still be closing the DC++ Hub and the forum will be archived. They really are under utilised and I believe they have passed seen better times.
I know this may seem like a surprise turn of events and it certainly wasn't meant to be a "hey look at me!" attention seeking exercise.
Hopefully everyone can now continue to enjoy the site and recordings that deserve to be shared, for free
Thanks
Simon

| Thanks so much for reconsidering Simon, I guess you're discovering how your efforts mean so much to the large community of Genesis fans out there, and I am ever so glad this resource will continue to be available into the future.. I think another donation is in order, and I would encourage anyone else who hasn't helped support this site financially, even with a token donation, to chip in – this is as good a time as any to show your support for what Simon and his fellow moderators have worked so hard to provide these last 10 years.

| That's great news. I was waiting until I had more time to write a note about the site, but I'll make it brief now. I've enjoyed it very much over the years and I appreciate the time and effort you've dedicated to it. I would understand if you still felt that you needed to close it down, but I'm very pleased that you decided that isn't necessary at this time. You've done an excellent job of providing a valuable resource to fans of Genesis and Genesis-related artists.
Thank you very much

| Well I'll be... I have been "watching" several vinyl Off The Record Specials on eBay - all from Genesis - and was considering buying them to upload here. Then Simon said he was pulling the plug - a decision I completely respected but was very sad to hear -so I figured I'd save my money. I know now what I must do...
Many thanks for reconsidering Simon. All the best.
Peace.

I'm happy to hear you've reconsidered, and meant everything I said the first time. I'm deeply grateful for what you created here, and to all who've shared here. This site has always been a gift to fans like me and I will treat this "extension" as the surprise and bonus that it is. Sincerely hoping all is well with you and yours. Thanks again!
