Doom-metal.com houdt het voor gezien
Sinds vandaag is de onderstaande tekst te lezen op http://www.doom-metal.com:
Doom-metal.com is dead
After discovering a too bizarre plot to destory both this website and me I have decided to quit this website compleetly. It seems some bands, who I have only tried to promote, thought it best to try and destory this website for whatever reasons they had. Kudos to them.. they have won. I found hard evidence for this because some of them where careless enouth to use the internal post system of our forum and I spend yesterday reading through the raw data of those posts. It remains beyond surreal to me even now..
For exposing them they have both treathend to sue me and worse. In short I am done with anything that has anything to do with Doom-metal or metal in general. I’m done with all of this.
My applogies to all good folk, good bands and good record labels.
Voor vele doorgewinterde doom-metal fans en bands was Doom-metal.com een ontmoetingsplaats en de uitgebreide bandsdatabase bood een breed scala aan informatie over het genre. Zware Metalen wenst de oprichters en mensen achter Doom-metal.com veel sterkte en laten we hopen dat dit goede initiatief eens nog een doorstart kan maken.
Update 22.25 uur:
Zojuist mailden de lieden van doom-metal.com me de volgende officiele verklaring:
Doom-metal.com has been taken down due to several personal virtual attacks and threats to the webmaster, combined with the trollish behaviour of some people from the scene that the site is supporting. The forum remains online, but will be limited to known and registered members only. All trolls and people involved in the “conspiracy” have been banned. The future of the site is being taken into consideration. More news follows when decisions have been made.
It is a pity that the doom metal scene has evolved into something that resembles the silly events from the black metal scene in the early ’90s. May the losers who were involved in these actions against doom-metal.com get a life and start doing something constructive.
We houden jullie op de hoogte van de ontwikkelingen..
