Probably a repost. Not been on DOA for a year or so, just went to have a look as it's a good source for break's and tip's etc, and it's gone, financial prob's apparently. Bit of a shitter really!

"On 23 September 2013, the forum was taken offline and has not reappeared since, with no explanation as to why it was taken down. In a quickly set up alternative forum, several of the former forum moderators have pledged to find a way to resurrect the website."
Sad to see it go tho

ye i noticed that too )-:

sucks DOA was so useful

Shit, end of an era?

What are the financial costs of running a forum?

I can't be quoted on this, but when I did some digging I saw the number 157k being thrown around from a few sources...
No idea if that is true or close, but it's what I've see

157k a year? Absolutely positively not.

Sadly, there were tons of great samples for free up there that will be hard to find again. Thankfully I have them all.

Yea. That's fucking nuts. I'm sure you could do it for 1K USD easily. Likely less.

We need a DOA sample. I only got the TC Amen!

Depends on the sort of traffic they were getting but yeah 150k+ seems very unlikely.

Weird it kinda just dissapeared with no warning.

doesnt more traffic = u make more money / ur site is worth more when u sell it?

how can it cost MORE the more trafic u get? i am puzzled



ye someone create a DOA samples thread so ppl can upload all the DOA samples

(i cnat tremmeber what i got from there and what i didnt tho ): )

More traffic = higher server costs... depends if the ads you have can counter that.

They're hoping to get The Grid back up.

Yes.. you can.

Seriously though, really wish I had put more time into The Grid, spent WAY more time here than I did there. Tons of useful bassline knowledge etc seemingly gone without a trace.

Would be nice if someone in the know shed some light on this, happened over a month ago and still shrouded in mystery.

Drugs. Mental Illness.

The thread where noisia asks what a reese is... gone :'(

Some good resources there, hopefully it was backed up somewhere.
