It seems that this morning the forum was shut down by proboards,maybe for violation of there terms of service.
If this is the case then we have lost all data. (We have the megaupload links still). As you can appreciate it will take time to get a new forum up & running.
All i can say is that you watch this space for futher information.

Sorry to see your forum shut down. Though I didn't use it for downloads, you guys did a tremendous job for many Bowie collectors worldwide who could download great concerts :-)

Thanks BC.
These things happen. We're not the first and we won't be the last!
Oh no, so sorry to hear about that! You both put so much effort into the forum, what a shame that they closed it down. Your work was much appreciated by so many collectors, it was a great source of information. Thank you again for the great job!
I looked into the forum every day; it had everything I was looking for. I´m so sorry that it´s closed.

What happened ? Is it something that can be put right with an explanation or is that it ? I do hope the pair of you can get it up and running again, as anyone could see, it provided a great service to everyone with an interest in the 'Dame'. A sad day for us all. I look forward to some better news, hopefully soon. Mark S x
What a bummer - I'd found my very own Valhalla and now it's gone
Come back soon please.
Ah this is such a shame, all your very hard work down the drain in seconds. You were not doing anything illegal but as you said Cygnet, you are not the first and you won't be the last. You mentioned that you needed a break the other day, on one of your last posts Cygnet, so after all this could be a good time to take one. It would have been much better of course if you took a break and all your data remained safe and in place but obviously it wasn't to be.... oh well. Please let me know if you and Fatwhiteduke need any help. I am really sorry for what happened. You are both amazing.

Too bad about the forum Cyg. Lots of hard work from your good self and FWD.
My advice is to carry on with the blog, but if you want, consider making it private/invitation only. Quite a few blogs are going that way. You send invitations out to your existing ‘Followers“. You will be below the radar, and find you will not be bothered by party poopers.
Hello cygnet & fatwhiteduke(Hello everyone),so sorry to see the forum closed down,hope all goes well for you both in the future.THANKS YOU FOR EVERYTHING.....AND SOON.
It reminds me of the movie.."GOOD MORNING ENGLAND"

Thanks for all the things you shared with us.
Great Bowie site, and hope you're coming back.
I also looked every day into the forum. Thanks for all the things you shared with us. Hope you're coming back soon.
One further bit of advice: Stay well away from anything Official.
Things have really tightened up all over. The 1976 03 23 Uniondale Nassau 76 show is soon to get an official release with the remastered Station To Station. The powers that be will be on the look out for that one, blog-wise. I'd take it down if it was me, no sense the whole blog going tits up just for that. Its available elsewhere, and most people have it anyway…
I am Absolutely Gutted for both of you, and, every one else who followed this forum. I don't understand the reasons behind this shutdown. It was just live recordings being passed from fan to fan, nothing ever being an official release. Please!!! Please!! Return... But at your own time your forum, and the work that you put in, would be well worth waiting for, how ever long it takes. someone mentioned an invitation only.??? Well , All The Best To You, Cygnet & FWD, And all the members that have made this place a Great place to be.... Mark ( Monkeybobbin )
Very good point the last comment and Nassau 76 shows have now been deleted.
From the ashes a phoenix will rise :)
Aaaaarrrrrrghhh!
Bloody disaster. Absolute bloody disaster. Must be so galling for you, cygnet, and for fatwhiteduke.
I'd like to thank you both so much for all the work and generosity you put into the forum. Thanks also to other notable contribs from scarymonster05, malta57, besomdave, andres and probably a couple of others (can't check now to see who - damn, damn, damn) - but chiefly you two, obviously.
I shall be checking regularly for phoenix activity. Meanwhile I think you guys owe yourselves a bloody good holiday.
All the best,
ozymandias
Thanks for your time spent on making the blog and sharing the music.
Looking forward to the new one!
It will be woth waiting.
Hi All,
Just like to say thanks for all the great comments, nice to know were appreciated. To echo Cs comment ...... ''From the ashes a phoenix shall rise''
LOVE ON YA ALL
fatwhiteduke
As i said before, we have mega/4shared upload links still. So it's a case of shifting through them and inputting all the data again.
It's a long task and will take time, so patience is the case here.
Some uploads will be gone and some will have official tracks taken out of them. Therefore it will be upto you to fill in the gaps.
We are looking at September time to go live with "the phoenix", as it's the summer holiday time and i won't be at home much. If we are ready earlier then thats ok we will go live.
WE WILL BE BACK :)
Bugger! Look forward to your next endeavours!
What the ....?
This is a real downer. What C & FWD had was what was fast becoming THE best Bowie resource on the web.
Have you had any reason as to why it was shut down?
Many Thanks to you both for your efforts - Hope Its not to long till we see the 'pheonix'
All the best
Besomdave
This is from Proboards...
the first bullet point is in reference to distributing copyrighted material without permission from the owners of that material, if that helps?
And...
The forum will not be restored so there's really no further discussion in the matter here.
They also shut down JustBowieTorrents
A Bowie phpBB forum may be worth considering. A lot of fan forums use phpBB format. Any live stuff could be put in a boot section which is not shown on the forum homepage, again like other forums. You may need full time mods though.
Anyway…all the best Cyg and FWD.
I'm gutted. I can't believe the site's been closed down. I hope to see it back online. My best wishes to all who made it one of the best sites around! David Cantello.
I can't believe this, all that hard work you guys did. But while this thing was going it was really wonderful. I'm still hoping there will be some future for this...
so sorry to hear about the shut down - your forum was the best bowie forum (by a mile) on the web - an invaluable resource for long-time collectors like myself and many others - all the best
So sorry for the unexpected site fiasco. I do hope that you guys will revive and that all our comments of thanks to you are not lost for all time. My Bowie-listening-enjoyment has been truly enhanced. All my best.
Frankie
Oh no!!This is reall bad news!Do you thinf it was because of the Nassau 76 Boot?But its not even officially released yet?I shall wait for the the best Bowie site on the net to come back!Karmaman
Thanks for the life Cygnet & FWD.
No Tears
Only Love to everyone involved in the forum so long.
hope we ll meet again soon.
RISE PHOENIX RISE !!!!
Guys this is terrible, after all your hard work and effort, hope you bounce back soon.
SS
I'm the Walrus and Paul the Octopus is right again.
Frankie
it sounds promissing that you will get a new site, and i forgot earlier to thank cygnet and fwt for all efforts and i thank ozymandias, vor mention of my uploads. and i hope in the new site there will be more uploaders to come, to make that site even better, i for sure will upload more, because i will soon get some more rare masters shows "malta57"
Oh Bugger!
I hope, Cygnet, that you get all sorted. It is really shame, if that is the case that all is lost. So so much amazing stuff and so much work from your side.
I really wish that all will be fine. And I hope that this does not upset you too much.
All the best to you and thumbs up!
Best Regards
Nurppa aka Tähtimies
Hello a pity so we wait for seeing it up again cheers Krivos
Bummer. I hope to see you back up and running soon. You guys rock! please don't give up.
Sorry to hear about this shutdown after all the hard work to put into letting us Bowie fans get all those wonderful shows:memories of a free sharing blog.
Thanks for everything.

What was your site Jobe?
Cygnet and FatWhiteDuke,
Like all the others who were enjoying the forum, I am upset to hear that the powers-that-be-getting-it-wrong decided to shut the forum down.
I am more upset for you and FWD, as you had put so much time and effort into organizing and maintaining the forum... please know that everything you two did is and always will be appreciated. You shared some amaazing shows that I did not even know existed, and many that I did know of but never thought I would ever get to hear.
I hope you will be able to rise again but hope you can enjoy a summer break first...
You know we will be waiting so please take time out and relax and enjoy the summer and fingers crossed that you will be able to come back with another site or forum or whatever format it may be.
Once again, a huge thanks to the both of you, and also to all others who shared shows... you all rock, I love you all :)
we hate all the FBs on that world :-) thanks for everything you did guys !!
we are al looking for a better future
