I've merged the topics to ensure cleanliness of the forums.
MrBill we are definitely looking into hosting an archive of Nekochan ourselves but I do not believe it is right for me to ask Pete as I do not know him personally and I'm not sure if he would trust me enough with it.
However, I'm simply not optimistic. His decision to take t down has damaged community faith irreparably and that's why I have had this site developed, to break up the walled garden of Nekochan and ensure the greybeards of old aren't holding the community back. There were a multitude of issues with Nekochan and that is why we have stepped in.
