I don’t know what may be behind this comment, if anything, but his smalljoes site has contributed to my collection through me purchasing from them over the years. So he has contributed to this fan.

Such is the nature of capitalism. The site is not a charity. It's a commercial venture that makes a profit by selling advertising. And like far too many web sites on the internet, 100% of that profit goes to the corporate owners who sit back and (literally) do nothing at all while 0% goes to the people actually doing the work of building the site and contributing content. This is not a business model that was designed to last long-term. |

Then I guess yojoe.com wasn't meant to last long term? So why the long faces?

Based on what MacDowin stated that’s not the case anyway. Even if it was, I appreciate yojoe.com and would support anyone who wanted to benefit from their own hard work. I know I do. Last edited by Dod Ear; 12-09-2020 at 09:07 PM.. |

I only have fond memories of Yojoe.com and have been going to the site since I was 16. Decisions were made to sell it - every decision has a consequence. Maybe Yojoe makes a comeback, maybe it stays in its current unkept status or it goes dark. Considering it's origins a 23 year run is pretty good for an upstart website originally conceived by three Joe fans in the early days of the internet. |

If that should happen, how does one go about saving an entire website to one's hard drive for posterity and personal use?

Seems like you're holding a grudge over something. If so, that's your personal business and doesn't contribute anything to this conversation. |

Who owns it? If it is the guy running it why did he sell it off? Or did someone purchase the rights to the name?
