QPL shutting down

I'm glad to hear that the site won't be closing for the moment...It's one of my favourite Queen sites, with so much love and knowledge put into it.
Thanks, Ron, and I hope there is finally a way to carry it on ...FOREVER.:)

There are some pretty smart people in here who would probably jump at the chance to help Ron out, since it is a very good site. Unfortunately, I am dumber than a toaster.

What are your 8 valuable Queen Sites...?

You understand that Queen Picture Hall is one of the best rock n' roll websites that there ever has been is don't you? There are very few artists that have a website that has as much detailed, concise, and easy to read and follow websites with as much information as the one you have. Please don't let that one go. Please someone pick it up.

Tenth response on page one, from the webmaster of that site himself:

I've been thinking about this for a long, long time (at least a year) and this is the first time that I've come out with it. I knew that the site had some kind of value but not like this.

Anyway, the good news for you is that the contract with the web host will last for another year. So it wont go offline after all.

I will see what I can do for next year.

Thanks for all the support and offers![/QUOTE]

In no particular order: QueenZone, BrianMay.com, QPictureHall, Royal Legend, QueenConcerts, Queen Videos, Queen Vault and site with analysis about Freddie's voice. That's all. Plus there are Queen sites that didn't "cost" so much effort but still are definitely worth visiting. QueenVision, GhostOfASmile, etc.

You forgot about Andy Young's site...

Andy Youngs site was the first Queen site I ever visited - but its not really updated any more I don't think.

The sites I visit (in order of amount of times visited per week) ;

* QueenZone
* Official Brian May site
* The Official Queen Site
* Shanes Queen Site
* Queen Picture Hall ... (of course!)
* Mercury Paradise
* Queen, The Videos

Any comments ?

Indeed, Andy's site was about the very first Queen site that I've ever visited. Very good source of info. But there were no updates and the navigation was shit => it was impossible to find anything.

The old Queen Official site woz the first site i visited. Around 1998...remember the cool pic of Queenworld? With all the Queenrelated buildings? :D

Now THAT takes me back! It's November 1995 all over again! I remember I had to go to my friend's house to check out the site because our family didn't even have a computer yet.

I visited the website with a 28K modem over my phone line. When I was online my phone did not work:)

That's not funny! When I'm at home, I'm also connected only via modem - and my phone doesn't work at that time, of course. That's not funny, that's sad reality! :-) I think we have about the second most expensive internet connection in the EU... :-(

I did not mean it funny :)
At least you have a mobile phone...
