I know some parts of the website seem abandoned such as the Auction Board, but can't foresee the site getting shut down as someone else would gladly run the site if the current owners are unable to maintain it. I highly value MOTL as a great place to trade, buy, and sell cards at very reasonable prices without fees, and best of all, the ability to negotiate prices with other traders.
Jeez man, have you not been reading the thread? The concern was MOTL turning into a ghost town and those in power not wanting to reverse that.

Like, I don't even remember why Iakae http://forums.magictraders.com/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=iakae or echo were banned http://forums.magictraders.com/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=ECHO Edit: heh, this thread is so old it has 'unregistered' users on it http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Archives/Archive-000001/HTML/20000621-1-001798.html

You just quoted potm... I believe I joined him during a pre-release of Mirrodin I think it was. That was a fun day.Leggo of my leg nightdog! OMG that first link..takes me back! GLE, Greven, templar, Valmtg, rpitcher, etc.. . I miss Serrabanger on here, too. He was funny.
Reading the last page: Maybe we can get back in contact with Negative I0N? Apparantly he created the design for this site, maybe he could help in some way? That being said, first the site should change ownership. Probably. Actually, that post deserves an up now. It would be like finding the Tomb of the Autobots in space with all the bygone members stored in it. __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek.

I unfortunately haven't met many members in person. I feel we should do a better job of organizing for GPs. I've tried a couple times :-pHmm, this thread reminded me how IAKAE got banned http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/015479.html quote: Originally posted by BoltBait: After Iakae married ValMTG, he didn't feel it was necessary to send out his Secret Santa Christmas Gift last year and got himself banned.Serra posts every blue moon, usually in the music thread.

As it is what would magictraders.com value be?I'm saying if a group was interested in buying the site, what value would it have? Hopefully some thoughts on this, .02, Jesse __________________ "call the hospital now" "I'm gonna kill you" inspiring words from Mino Fazio

Well, it would include the cost of hiring a private investigator to get Leshrac's attention :-P
