Can you elaborate on this, please?

Who exactly are you addressing here? And why? Are you saying people here at KVR sabotaged or hacked your server?

No I am not addressing K-v-R or saying anyone hacked it - I am saying it has had many many attempts to take it down via hacking, via overloading, via not following the rules, via loads of stuff that it does not make it worth it - it is me venting about a situation that has happened - basically I am saying the Auditorium and the agro caused by some inderviduals - makes it not worth putting back up - I dont know if you noticed - but my AudioShots site is 'dead'.

Nothing else to say.

Audioshots will be back - but the auditorium could well not be - its the weakest link.

Best regards,

Peter

If you're getting lots of hassle running the Auditorium then close it. Otherwise the stress will have an impact on everything else and that's not healthy.

At least you tried it and perhaps now the time has come to move on. This may disappoint some people but I'm sure they wouldn't want you to keep on feeling under stress.

I've always found you very helpful and I'm sure others have as well. But there's only so much help one person can offer without becoming overstretched. Running a free service must have it's benefits but it must also be very stressful at times.

Sorry to see this happen

Saw this before with Hollow Sun. There are many similarities.

I didn't really use Audioshots too much, but thanks for everything Pete and good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future

I wasn't very active in the Auditorium but I followed it for months...
Thanks Peter, we'll miss it

Peter, this doth truly suck.

I think this is sad, but I can surely understand your decision.

Whenever something really positive and free fails I am reminded of a story told by a friend: It seems she was accosted by a panhandler and, having no cash, she offered him some of the cookies she was taking to a party.

His response: "Are they fresh?"

But on a positive note, with the Auditorium you have gotten at least one lifelong and very satisfied customer for your hosting services, which are in fact the cheapest and best I have seen, and I have done a lot of looking.

Not much, perhaps, but it is something.

Good Luck!

damn dude. loved auditory, what a friggin shame, you helped musos all over so much, including myself. The stress you seemed to have suffered isnt worth putting yourself out for free though. thanx very much though mate you are a legend. you can have my few contributions to your great site. shit tho they are they were inspired by your excellent site and its possibilities. thanks once again

kind regards

I am terribly sad to read this. The auditorium was such a great community, and so much eaier to explore and participate in than any other music community I have been involved with.

I am terribly sorry that people have ended up ruining it.

Peter, I thank you for the time and effort you have put into it all. I am sorry I did not say that sooner. I sympathise with the extra un-needed stress it has put on you. Best of luck with your hosting services.

best wishes
kelly

Ah right, ta. It read as though you were addressing specific people you knew would be here....

Never really hung out at the Auditorium, but it seemed to be a popular community with a lot of people. Shame its too much hassle....

Is Audioshots down?
