Anybody have any info on this?

It looks like they didn't renew but I am hoping it's not gone forever...

Richard Cox posted this to the ClubTokyoC list:

"Just to update: I've begun the process of switching the domain back on. Unfortunately, my contact information has changed so I have several hoops to go through to, understandably, prove who I am. This involves a couple of faxes and some photocopies of my personal IDs. I should still have things running by Monday/Tuesday, assuming the network refresh is timely."

Chad, What the fuck are you trying to do to me??!?!?!?!?
That scared the crap out of me! That website is such a treasure of information!!!

Thanks for the update Roger!

Good news indeed!

This is one of those "You don't know what you've got until it's gone" scenarios. I've been back a half dozen times over the last few days and each time it kills me. Glad to hear things are on the mend.

I think there's a genuine opportunity with the ClubTokyo material to adapt it into more of a database-type site like Zinc Panic. (PVC Panic?)

Of course, I don't have the time to do this. Someone else do it. ;p

yeah, I tried to check something on it a day or two ago and freaked out.

I figured it would be back up in a few days though

Fortunately I've committed the entire site to memory.

That is fortunate, because now I know who to harass with an enslaught of Kaiju related questions, trivia and other related japanese toy nonsense.

Just don't bother me while I'm grooming my massive eyebrows, or trying to get the stains washed off the corners of my mouth.

There's a crappy mentat joke in there somewhere. Maybe if you squint.

"Put the kaiju in there, Pete, and turn it 'round real neat."

Seriously, someone neds to start a vinyl wiki.

(Not me.)

i always thought of clubtokyo as the vinyl wiki...

Unfortunately it's not open like a wiki is, nor is it as broad as it could be. Don't get me wrong, it is an amazing resource, but imagine if it could be incorporated into something on a larger scale, akin to (again) Zinc Panic.

You're right that it's not as open as a wiki (you can't add whole new entries), but all the main listings do have a link allowing you to add comments. They have to be reviewed and approved by the site owners, but I've added a few comments. If they update it to allow comments on the specific variants I'd be able to add a lot more.
