Yes, that's right. I'd forgotten about that.

Dave's on here isn't he?

Hopefully he'll spot the posting and give us a reply?

Hi Guys,

We didn't amalgamate. What happened is this....when Atom's (I'll respect his anonymity) server went tits up I offered to sponsor a new one. We also rebranded the site and incorporated a link to the Hitsville Soul Club. We also agreed that we could link the music files to any features/articles on the Hitsville site so as to ease the download burden. So... I paid the dosh, he got a new server then......nothing. The site just disappeared after a while. I have no idea why or what happened but I suspect that it became a pain in the arse and the guy either just moved on with his life or had an episode that precluded him from continuing.

Many of the members of SS also contributed a few $$ each to keep the site going, which it did for a year or so. Do I feel cheated? Not at all. The guy was a genuine lad and, like most people, I'd used the site for free for a few years and was just trying to keep it going as long as possible. I hope he's OK and maybe we'll see him (it) back at some stage who knows.

Plus...the refosoul facility on SS is a great asset. Not as simple as soulclub but with a little patience just as enjoyable.

Best,

Dave

Thanks Dave.

Would it be silly of me to think that you still have a link to Atom's server?

Probably not as you would have said so if you had.

Oh well, hopefully we'll see Atom / Soul Club back one day SOON.

I'm not forgetting the brilliant Refosoul on here, just paying a belated compliment to Atom and his effort put in over many years.

Denbo.

I ripped the entire soulcub site once, if I've still got the discs I'll give you them Dennis.
