Intrusion Detected from PA

PA's been working on Chrome for me, but I ran into a few issues for the first time this morning. It wasn't anything crazy, just a message saying the connection was lost and that there was a network error. Thankfully things have gone back to normal now 

Explain the eternal mysteries of the PA nebulum?  I don't think so, my friend.

I just tried this, and it does not work (in Chrome). What's the problem? I have it working in Chrome on Windows OK.

^ Thanks. I had remembered the 1000, 000 dollar asking price. And Micky said that he had wanted to purchase it (not sure if he made an offer). Micky was such a talker, miss his energy,

Still, weird with this site, because yes the domain name has value, but the site architecture is outdated, and a big part of the value would be user generated content, so I could imagine some people feeling like they'd been sold out who have volunteered a huge many hours with no remuneration if the site and IP was sold.

So may sites went defunct and ended up becoming tempooray porn sites. I would rather someone who cares about the music buy it than this become, say, a raunchy website such as ProgArchives, home of the pork sword, your ultimate Tool resource.

I saw the website where Max was trying to sell the site, this was quite a while ago, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. At the time he was asking one million for it. He was offered a couple hundred thousand by two different people.
At the time the site was pulling in about 50 thousand a year. It is probably pulling in much less than that now.

There is a saying that everyone and everything has their price, and that you get what you pay for.

This is second-hand knowledge and the source was rather dubious, but purportedly someone had wanted to buy the site off M@x and that the owner would consider selling it for a very high price. I'd consider selling it to SPECTRE for a high enough price even if I did work for MI6 (a branch of Musical Intelligence). It's an odd situation because while it has an owner, most of the content, which I would say is the biggest value in this outdated content, was generated by volunteers.

Anyway, if Elon Musk was willing to pay 44 billion for Twitter.... I don't see him buying this site, but if he did a few of us (I'd be the first against the wall) would be out of a job, even if it is just a voluntary position.

I do hope this site lasts, that the "data" is backed-up and made available (maybe mirrored eventually), and as one member brought up with me recently, we pass around our contact details -- like email addresses (I hardly ever check that one I have shared as I normally only check my primary work one).

It's intermittent on my laptop, for me.  I use Chrome pretty much all of the time, and rarely use my phone app.
