princevault.com what is going on?

Does anybody know why this site is down?

Even the DNS is now gone.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Maybe the domain was claimed by the curators, to set up a webshop for future releases?

It seems like a deliberate decision not the site cashing. Maybe the team's way of coping with the sadness. I hope they're well.

Whatever happened I hope it'll be back soon. The loss of such an unvaluable resource would add to the loss we are all feeling.

Thanks God it's just that!

All hails to the PV team, must be twice as tough for them struggling with the sad news and this.

Thanks for posting.

I have wondered...would a gofundme or Kickstarter project to help host/fund the org and princevault be something we could do in memoriam? Any interest?

As someone who has no interest in paying a rental subscription for ANY streaming type service, I would however pay an annual fee to continue to have access to Princevault.

Of course, I also wouldn't mind an update for the 2004 book. Couldn't be done before, but, now?

Lots of stories still being written. I'm at least glad they're going to the most accurate source available for info. I hate when they don't do they're research and get all their facts wrong...


I'm just happy that the shutdowns are temporary due to traffic and not them going away. Thanks for your work PrinceVault, you are priceless!!
