Bummer. Electro Empire is a great site and very useful resource. Many of the sites I use the most are similar: run by fans for nothing more than the love of the music and the desire to contribute something to it, such as discogs.com, Amazing Discographies etc. It's one area where the net really comes into its own. I hope EE is able to carry on in one form or another.
