  1. Both that site and the James-newton-howard.com are gone, with a blank white pages that says:

    This site has been closed



    What happened?

    Both sites were unofficial, i.e. not endorsed or supported by the composers themselves.
    So either the webmaster threw in the towel for whatever personal reason, or the composers (or their legal representatives) decided this was some sort of legal infringement (maybe they want to launch their own sites?).

  3. My understanding from ESB's comments over the years there, is that both composers knew of their respective sites, and he seemed to actually be in communication with Silvestri.

    I'm going to contact ESB and find out what happened.
    (scratch that -- can't find a way to contact him)

    emile wasn't his name ? No truth is that i don't know him personally but let's just say my time at his forums wasn't the most pleasant smile

  8. Demetris, i did not know you had problems with emile? You two always seemed to go along well. I only noticed that at one point you suddenly disappeared from the silvestri forum, which came as a surprise to me.

    As far as i am concerned, i have only the best of memories of this forum, website and webmaster. Especially cool was the meeting of some of the members of the forum during the silvestri concert in 2007. For some strange reason, everything seemed to go downhill with the site from that time on, with little updates and a constantly decreasing number of active members in the forum. I understand that some of it had to do with Emile's private life. He even considered to take the forums down but not the whole websites. Maybe the last stone in the wall was the creation of silvestris own official website. Maybe this made Emile feel that his effort became obsolete when Silvestri decided to no longer support the unofficial site with first hand infos and instead use his own website. I am just speculating, of course. It seems strange that he would also take down jamesnewtonhoward.com, which i understand had no such problems and a very active forum as well. In the end, he might just be giving the sites and forum a new makeover. Lets all cross our fingers that he'll be back.

    most of the times this is what happens with such sites unfortunately . Some less informative and cold sterile official site comes along and eats the much better unofficial one built with passion.

    I never had problems with Emile, always got along with him. I think he closed both sites because it just took so much time, and he couldn't continue doing them.

    I miss those sites, very professional and well structured creations shame
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
