Over the last few days, some people have been messing with the Punk Zine Archive site. None of it was malicious, but I had no luck in preventing it either. To avoid any bigger problems, I have shut down the site.
The idea behind selling advertising space to record labels was to use the money for more hosting and increased security. As the site grew over the years, I thought more labels would be interested. Although a few labels advertised, others weren’t interested no matter how big the site became. Without the additional money, more security wasn’t possible.
Thanks to everyone who helped support the site over the years. I hope everyone enjoyed it. With my newly found spare time, I’ll be working on some music.
Thanks,
Adam
Wha???? This sucks. Is there any chance of you making the pdfs available?
ReplyDeleteLame! Adam, I could host the files. And we could probably figure out how to incorporate them into ZineWiki more. Knock on wood, but my domains have never had security problems, I use Europe's largest hosting company.

wanting companies to let you profit off other people's content - no wonder people were messing with the site.

Bring it back with the 80s MRR, Flipside, Ink Disease gaps filled and add Forced Exposure 1-6 too.
ReplyDeleteAnd quick!
Adam, thanks for all the time and effort you put into the Punk Zine Archive. It's been an incredible asset for research on punk culture.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to track down new sources for zines since your website went offline, but short of visiting the Factsheet Five archive in Albany, I haven't had much luck.
Is there any way to still gain access your pdfs? I'd be much obliged. if so, please stop by my blog sometime and drop me a line.
Best,
Rylan
