^ I hope not. They might mean that they're moving some images out of the forum and to the main site.

Here neither. It's all blanc.... A few hours ago, there was still the message that the site was only down for a short time

edit: there's a link to the gallery on the main site and it says: "(We are in the process of migrating the gallery from the old forum to the main site. Check back for new galleries and images)" so there's gonna be a new forum?? Contrary and odd considering those reports came from the site itself. It seems that they have gone from "the time has come for us to move on" to now indicating that they were "just taking a break" and that work has been being done all along. Is it possible we misunderstood the intent of their original statement? Maybe they sold it and they are only helping to hand it over as they first said? Perhaps it wasn't selling as fast as they thought it would and they figured they might as well open it back up again and take advantage of the LP6 hype? Maybe they saw all of the love and support from the community and had a change of heart? We will probably never know and I am fine with that. If it does return soon it will just be nice to have it back. But what of this place when and if it does return? Comicforce - do you see yourself keeping it open now that it has come so far or will it have just been an oasis, a passing refuge for coldplayers when all else was lost, a subtle history that a few hundred of us were lucky enough to share in...

Oookay, this is weird. Yes, the original report was very 'we are moving on' final sounding for me as well, so who knows what is going on. I'm as perplexed now as I was when the message first came through out of the blue. I don't see how we could have misunderstood the original message. I'm not Row, and I will let her field the last question, but let me just say that this place (and others that were created out of the same dedication) was and is a saving grace for all of us. Can you imagine not having an outlet for the news, gifs, speculation and video that has come out lately?? Some were out there looking out for us, the lost, and I am forever grateful.

Well considering everyone has having a panic attack and going 'THE SITE IS DEAD' 'RIP IN PIECES' etc, when that was probably not going to be the case as the plan WAS to sell it onto someone else...
Migration of gallery to the site just makes sense. I assume they mean the 'old forum' as the ole navy blue one, as after the upgrade I don't think we saw galleries being a feature yet.
As for 'taking a break', god knows. Maybe they're just referring to them actually communicating or something.
..and yeah, I suspect it's reopening due to the LP6 hype, but probably still going to be sold, unless sth changes

In all honesty, and in my opinion; a lot of time was put into this site. I personally don't feel like going back to Coldplaying. I'd rather be together with less Coldplayers, who are more passionate than a larger body of people who are just listeners. No offense to anyone.

I shared similar thoughts in the LP6 thread although it may have been in Midnight... so much has happened the last few days!

I do agree that they did mention they were prepping the site for possible sale, but I thought it was pretty clear that Ian and Jen were done is what I meant. I guess time will tell. I also agree with Keaton that, even though it's smaller, it's a dedicated and passionate group, and I love it here.

I'd rather be together with less Coldplayers, who are more passionate than a larger body of people who are just listeners. No offense to anyone. You make an interesting point regarding coldplaying. There were times that it felt like a collection of former Coldplay fans who just remained active on the forum to maintain friendships. I know that there is nothing wrong with that but it didn't always make for the most interesting discussions reagrding the band. That and the fact that some sections of the board could be downright vile when it came to new Coldplay music being released. Having said all that I do believe that there were still many passionate fans to be found there although in the smaller setting of this board I feel like I have more of a voice.

I hope this doesn't mean everything from the forum will be deleted! The Gallery definitely was not the most important part of Coldplaying. Not all pictures posted were actually uploded there. The Multimedia forum and all the reviews are the most valuable aspects, I think. Still happy to read that it appears to be coming back!
edit: oops, didn't see the last page of posts, haha!

Hey Guys. I thank you for all your comments. Really really thank you. Yes originally I made this place as a haven, a place for lost souls to come in the interim, but also knew that there was a chance, and possibly a good chance that Coldplaying might NOT come back. Ever. At least not as we know it. So fully intended from the word go that I would be here for the long term. I would LOVE to keep this place open, for however long you want it. If there is just ONE person who wants to stay, then we are here. And of course the two sites aren't exclusive.. who says you can't belong to both? We are here for the long haul. We have lots of ideas for new things to make it a fun place. We don't necessarily want to be a Coldplaying clone, although of course there will inevitably be some duplication. But also don't want to start a competition, or any bad feeling between the two sites. Coldplay are a huge band and why not have two fan forums? There are plenty of fans. As you say, we have put a lot of time and effort into making it a nice place to come, it's our baby. We hope you enjoy being here as much as we do. So, with that in mind, if there is ANYTHING you would like to see on the site.. from more backgrounds, more smilies, different themes, we have three at the moment and are working on another, then do let us know. The more ideas, the more fun. Row

I love it here and like everyone else would like to say a big thankyou to Row for bringing us all together. If coldplaying does return I might dip my toes in the water but I did feel a bit let down by them with the way it was handled. I know that its a big commitment but even so it all felt a bit meh, no warning,nothing so Im all for keeping our new home alive we've moved in, laid the carpet, started decorating and invited all our friends round and I personally love this place and our hostess Row Good Job!!!
