“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax. Of cabbages, and kings.” After nearly 14 years at the helm it is time for an ending. And hopefully a new beginning and another chapter. Time inevitably marches forward and lives change. It has got to the point where we are not able to put in the time and effort the site(s) deserve particularly when there will inevitably be an increase in traffic & interest as the new album and tour are announced. It’s been fun – in an obsessive compulsive sort of way – but now other concerns – family, work, life must take priority. The community sites are being prepared for sale. I will update the post with further details when available. Hopefully we’ll still be around, initially to hand over, and then as just curious observers from a distance. Yours Ian, Jen, Sam & Jess, Stephen www.coldplaying.com/coldplaying-update-announcement/

I hope the site & forum will find a good new owner. edit: and I really hope that this doesn't mean everything's lost. (no pun intended) The thousands of threads, pictures, information, ... It was a goldmine for every Coldplay fan

I agree, it would be a terrible shame if all that info was lost. I hope the new owner is just as fun/committed as Ian, and I also hope the site retains the same level of quality and feeling of community.

How much would it be worth? I think none of us can pay it but if I could, I'd buy it. This isn't necessarily the end of coldplaying and the forum, it's just scary that it all depends on who buys it. Do you guys think there is a possibility Coldplay might buy it? I think (correct me if I'm wrong) Debs Wild used to run the official Coldplay messageboard. She shut it down because there were too many arguments and there was too many fighting. I just read that (on coldplaying, obviously) so I don't know if it's true. I think Coldplaying buying it would be the best solution for the community
