What happened to it? "Recent events" sounds like there's a story
The story that I'm piecing together, as I see it, is that a very large flood of material was posted from insider circles in a huge leak - possibly from Phil Collins' personal collection [speculation] - and new ownership of the catalog and rights holders got upset enough to pull the plug on the open ignorance of fan made trading that the band and management has had for 22+ years. There are also several YouTube channels that featured the band's works removed by these measures.

The stuff on Dime is barely scratching the surface of how much was on The Genesis Movement site, though, as I understand it. Couple the recent hundred gigabytes or so that happened in the last few days, taking everything along with it really sucks...

For now, I welcome my Genesis friends to The Trader's Den as some refuge and respite. I an a big old fan of the band and it's offshoot members. I do hope that the new conglomerate corporation that feels like ending the support of it's fan base doesn't extend here. I suppose if we're contacted, things might change...

Not happy!
