He needs to get a basic link up with his ID at Paypal, so we can send the man some donations.....you out there Peachy? I'm sure there are others willing to chip in a few bucks....if a few hundered people donated, we'd be back on track.

Not sure where to post this, but does anyone else have a list on tapetrader? I haven't been able to access their site for a while now and was wondering if anyone had any info about this. Thanks

I'd rather he charged a small fee per year. Can't rely on donations.

$5 a year would cover most of his expenses if 500 people signed up.

My complete list is over at TapeTrader and like an idiot I've not exported a backup in about 2 years. Hope he finds a way to sort it...thousands of users on there and if just some of those donated I'm sure it would go a long way.

Looks like it's almost back up:

Hi -

This is the TapeTrader Admin.

The site is almost back up and running.

Your show lists etc. are all OK, but it will take us a little bit to dig ourselves out of the outage.

Thanks for your patience.

I emailed Peachey directly & suggested a small yearly fee to use the site and suggested that he also set up a Paypal acct temporarliy and ask for donations to help get the site back up. I'm sure he's a busy guy - but I got no response ?

You can email your list to yourself, in both colour and B & W. You do it every time you enter new shows, in case the site goes down again.

The B & W looks like this below. I tried to copy and paste the colour one too, but it came out B & W too.

"Artist" "Date" "Sets" "Media" "Grade" "Venue "State" "Source"
"10,000 MANIACS" "0?/0?/?" "All" "DVD" "A" "Eye See Natalie Merchant #1-10,000 Maniacs & Natalie Merchant TV Compilation" "" "" "SBD"
"10,000 MANIACS" "07/29/1986" "All" "DVD" "A-" "JCC College Stadium, Jamestown, NY" "Jamestown, NY" "" "SBD"
"10,000 MANIACS" "0?/0?/1989" "All" "DVD" "A" "MTV Unplugged w/ Michael Penn NYC" "NYC" "" "SBD"
"10,000 MANIACS" "07/04/1989" "All" "DVD" "A" "Rich Stadium NY" "Orchard Park NY" "" "SBD"
"10,000 MANIACS" "04/21/1993" "All" "DVD" "A" "MTV Studios-Unplugged NYC" "NYC" "" "SBD"

I'm unsure if that would work or not?
I DO have a list at TapeTrader, but it's terribly out of date and I have no plans to get it current (even if the site is resurrected ).
It was fine back when snail-mail trading was the way to get bootlegs, but once I learned the bit torrent ropes, TapeTrader became irrelevant.
Personally, I wouldn't donate any amount.
I'm not sure how typical my views are---maybe there ARE enough people who feel TapeTrader is worthwhile enough to donate $$$ to it.

There was an update from M.Peachey on 1/23, but that has gone away and now returns a blank page. I've tried eMailing him several ways but have received no responses. Anyone have any luck contacting him? I'm sure I speak for many when I say "we wait with bated breath."

[TVHagen]

Well, here's the latest from the man himself:

(question)
MPeachey, your message no longer appears at the TapeTrader.com link. SafeSecureWeb.com, a dead link, now appears. Is this good or bad news? Thanks...

(answer from MPeachey)
Bad news. Site is down in a catastrophic way, and i'm not getting any love from the guy who can fix it. still hopeful though. sorry, i know it sucks.
