    Hi guys.

    PC PowerZone may well be closing down permanently due to personal issues and certain individual/s within the site 'throwing all their bricks out of the pram' if you get my meaning.

    Can't say more at the mo but the site may well be down for good, just so many hassles with it I can live without. Decision soon.

    Keep Going M8

    Like to offer my continuing support to PC PowerZone.

    I personally now how hard it is to run a site and I'm sure Koolvin will tell you some horror stories too. My own site has been affiliated for some time now and has followed his site closely as I do this one.

    Unfortunately people will let you down, that's the way of the world. Not letting them beat you or affect you will be a better victory and sticks two fingers up in the air to them.

    Everyone associated with my own site I know personally and speak to on a daily bases. I like the small site feel we have, as it's more manageable and controllable. Something you may want to consider.

    Whatever decision you make DR do it for the right reasons. Sites like this one and yours thrive on support the readers give it. You must consider there feelings too.

    Sorry to hear that man.. I know how tough it can be running a site and I don't get it half as bad as some people..I empathise with (what I assume to be) your reasons for thinking about closing down as I'm sure we've all been in that position..

    Hell, I've thought about packing it all in before now and it's only been through a few lucky breaks that I haven't left. If those breaks don't come then it's down to what's most important to you (believe me, if it's personal issues then RL comes before a site anyday mate).

    I hope that you get the opportunity to work something out and don't have to go to the extreme of shutting up shop. It's a good site you run there and it'll be a real loss to see it go, esp after all the hard work you've been putting in.

    Thanks for the support. Please read the front page for all my thoughts and reasons.

    BTW - this is no publicity stunt like some other sites have done, if it goes down it will be for good. :(

    Likewise, I'm sorry to hear of the possible demise of PCPZ, I posted on their own forum, so you can go there to read it :p Save me repeating myself.

    Im sorry to hear this, and I emailed you in person expressing my concerns and I hope that things can be resolved!

    I hope all goes well, but as I have said, family is number 1, the site comes after that.

    Best Wishes :)
