They didn't "die" at all. Tommy hung it up because he pretty much said what he had to say about the music that moved him. Just didn't have the time anymore. That's the gist I got from his emails. He is happy and healthy still.

Vintageprog.com died because they failed to follow the modern underground prog music scene.
Okay, so that's probably not it, but I'd like to think that's the reason why:P |

Do the math. How much of his life has this guy spent lisstening to music ?
 Still it`s great to see he leaving it. It`s one of the few sites other than PA, DGMs Site, blazemonger.com ( GG s site ) and my email that I really bother with.

"When the judgment of history comes in 300-400 years, it's not the simplistic, shallow and worthless crap hyped by today's musically illiterate mainstream music critics that will be praised and remembered from the 20th century, but classic '70s progressive rock."

UPDATE:
Tommy (Vintage Prog site guy) has announced that he will no longer be updating the site. He does not say why, but does say he will leave the site up as a resource. And a fine resource it is. I love his willingness to be brutally frank when he doesn't like something. And he always seems to find one line that really nails the essence of the album. Kudos to Tommy! |

UPDATE!! Tommy is fine, and Vintageprog.com is too. He is simply taking a break from writing and will return when he feels he is ready. He thanked everyone for being concerned about him.
Good news!!  |

Sorry, I can't enlighten you any re the future security of PA. The admin team have no involvement at all in the commercial and technical aspects.
As a purely personal guess, I would have throught the site has some value, and could be sold as a going concern.
On the positive side, M@x is young and healthy!

Ronald was a co-founder, right? Maybe the site would pass to Max's closest team members?
Sounds better than being passed to a Corporation. Here's hoping Max lives forever!!! |

^ a good question indeed. I guess that unless there is a business corporation behind a website, we can never be 100% sure that it will still be there tomorrow. But then again ... what really is certain in life?
