Why?

 

The band, and subsequently EMI, isn't going to let us keep all that bootlegged content.

 

And it would take more than one person to run it, unless that person had the free time of a full time job...and superpowers, lol.

But from what I understand it`s not just buying the site, its maintaining the site. Maintaining the site will require a steady stream of money being pumped into it as long as the site exists and not just a one time sum.

 

Well there's the option of stuffing every free pixel on this site with Advertising banners and porn links to get some steady cash in, but then there's Adblock :I

 

 

 

THERE MUST BE A WA, we just have to think of something clever :angry:

unless that person had the free time of a full time job...and superpowers, lol.

 

We just need a person with no real life and we're done LOL

Well, Maybe if the people who actually KNOW What's going on would say something to help here...*wink, wink*:)

If the band buys this site, they (or at least their management) wont be too happy with their b-sides going away for free.

B-sides, ok, but that wouldn't be a problem because they're all over the web anyway

I don't know, some bands are ok with bootlegs. But indeed, record companies could get bitchy here

 

If we keep the same moderators the team wouldn't even change that much

THIS come on guys, we can do this :angry:

There are hundreds of gigs, interviews and other rare content. It's the most complete coldplay archive on the web.

 

*thinking*

 

So Maybe even if we can't save the forum (and I sincerely hope Someone can) we Could make a backup of the archive...?

Is 1 terrabyte enough? :I

^CPing is so big i bet even 3 wouldn't be enough :lol:

 

:wreck: Omg the fangirling yes no the band buying CPing is a TERRIBLE idea

Horrible, horrible scenario

 

That backup archive idea sounds good though!

We really could, it's quite simple: we just divide the work and everyone downloads a few gigs and interviews. To share it we could use the other forum or a simple wordpress blog, I've seen people doing that for other bands and it works really well

I've got loads of stuff saved already, like, almost everything in every version of every concert/date. Mostly pre Viva-era because videos from the Viva era up to now are still all floating around youtube and easy accessible.

Assign alphabetically and chronogically after compiling a list of volunteers.

THE HORROR :wreck:

It still haunts me :bigcry:

I am very CONVINCED Phil just told them to avoid Coldplaying AT ALL COSTS :lol:

Maybe we'd get already far if everyone shared an index of what they have :thinking:
