I'm sure Peter started the website because he loved the band, but he's just moved on with his life as have many other fans.
It was discussed here.

I don't know where you got that 10.000. Maybe that's a number from 10 years ago which included drycounty.com web site. I was actually contacted by some Martin guy in 2010 and I set a price at 2750 EUR then, Jovitalk + jovitalk.com domain only, without drycounty.com web site. Now I'd probably give serious thought to 2000 EUR offer.

As for the spam, apparently Kev's e-mails did not reach me for some weird reason. But a message from a user regarding the snow did, so some actions have been taken regarding spam:
- 1000s of users, virtually 99% of new registrations since January have been banned (if some of real new users got banned as collateral damage, e-mail me at peter5@peterweb.com)
- security questions during registration process have been changed
- new anti-spam measures have been added (checks agains 3rd party spammer database)

Hopefully this will help. If not, there's still an option of manually approving every new registration.

Peter
