Title: Whither the Smile Shop? Post by: JCarson on June 27, 2007, 11:31:54 AM I am more of a occasional reader than poster and take a look at a number of music websites from time to time. I had a look at the Smile Shop a few moments ago and found it gone. I know there's some bad history between this site and that, but I'm sure many BB fans here check it out every now and again. Anyone know what's up? Is this temp site maintenance or is the Smile Shop 'done'?
Title: Re: Whither the Smile Shop? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on June 27, 2007, 11:46:15 AM It's done - the owners/admins pulled the plug. The forum is gone, the other pages can still be accessed.

Are you serious? I tried to access the board and got the slightly enigmatic message that 'The Smile Shop Is Done' but I thought it was some hacker's idea of a joke. Any idea why they've decided to call it a day? That's a shame - there's a lot of good things about that board. Title: Re: Whither the Smile Shop? Post by: Andrew G.

Looks like they finally gave up over at ye olde Smile Shoppe. I haven't been there for three or four weeks, so I guess this is quite suddenish? Anyone know what happened? BJ Title: Re: The Smile Shop Is Done. Post by: Andrew G. Doe on July 14, 2007, 11:32:46 AM What happened ? Life.

Title: Re: Whither the Smile Shop? Post by: Charles LePage @ ComicList on October 16, 2007, 04:49:57 PM I saved articles from the now dead Smile Shop site. It looks like Eric saved some as well:

Post by: LostArt on October 17, 2007, 07:28:28 AM I saved a few essays and documents, although I don't know if they all came from the old Shop. Here is what I've got:
Louis Shenk's "Smile:A Childrens' Song" and "A Smile Primer" Peter Reum's "Rhapsody In Blue and Smile" and "Smile, An American Cantata" Jon P. Nossen's "Columnated Ruins Domino" David Prokopy's "The Prokopy Notes" Stan Shantar's "The Search For Dumb Angel" I have a couple of interviews with Dominic Priore, one from Ear Candy I think, and I don't know where the other one's from. I might have a couple more things at home, but I don't know what. |
