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'?

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.

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?

I saved articles from the now dead Smile Shop site.  It looks like Eric saved some as well:

Anyone else do some preservation?  There was some good SMiLE stuff there that should not be lost.

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.
