Did you say this site isn't hosted by bhe? If so, any guess where it is hosted?
If it is a 3rd party we maybe screwed when hosting fees are due. He may have paid multi years...I just reuped for 4 years...but still...if Wu doesn't return...all this could be lost!

Produce the post from Wu, and I will stand corrected. simple as that....
Thanx for your time and effort Patrick.
All of us can check Wu's post history. Just click on his name in a thread (rules/regulations has a few) and click on the link for "recent posts." His last post was in 2013. He didn't make said statement on here.

It is hosted by BHE. It isn't RAN by BHE - meaning Wu was doing it, not the BHE staff.

Good to know bhe is hosting but do we know if hosting was free? If not, can any bhe friendly person find out when paid hosting will need to be renewed?
Anyone knows if bhe also is the registrar for the domain?

I think we are all jumping the gun a little here. Sometimes real life takes precedence over our online lives (as it should) and until we hear word from Wu, we really shouldn't speculate.
Also I feel there's no need for Chicken Little type behaviour (the sky is falling etc) as the site is still up and running, safely hosted with our good friends at B-H-E and for those wondering, the domain's expiration date is: 24 March 2015...almost 11 months away.
If Wu has decided to call it a day, I'm certain he would do us all the courtesy of letting us know.
In the meantime, until we know what's happening, it's my intention to keep posting & commenting as I've always done. In fact, I suggest we all do.

I am with you, Lord.. I think the wisest thing to do is behaving normally until we read from Wu himself. All my appreciation also for Patrick's efforts to give us all reliable information on the matter. Even if I have been in the "industry" since 2007, I am relatively new to the forum, and I have had no personal contacts with Wu.. anyway, I wish him all the best.. and I hope that he will come back soon..

The longer time goes by, the more it is looking like 1 of 2 things has happened:
1- Wu just abandoned his site. I find it hard to believe, but it is quite possible.
2- Something really did happen to Wu, or to cause him to leave his site. Medically, legally, family etc.
I am not joining all the nonsense speculators, but just keeping it real... obviously something out of the ordinary has occurred, due to the fact that he has not missed an update in 12 years.

Thanks Patrick. I really hope that Wu is okay. Of course that is for selfish reasons. It is possible that he suddenly died I suppose. That can happen to anyone of us. Thanks for keeping us posted.

This is just a humble opinion of an average user on WUs due to all of this mess about Wu being IDLE for awhile. I have had a great experience being in WU for many years since i was a Kid, it was the first place where i could find friendly, decent people to talk about something i liked and considered abnormal until then, a nice place to SHARE experiences and Pictures ( because we have to admit how much we like to share our ladies feet ). So, gathering the main words i mentioned before: SHARE, PICTURES, TALK and LADIES i ask you guys how possible could it be to create a group in social media for US, "the WUs People" , i mean groups on WHATSAPP, BBM, TELEGRAM, or someone of that kind of social networks where we can Chat and Share pictures, make it more direct, faster, easier and needing less time than running a whole new site... it can even be a parallel activity to WU forums. Lets see what you guys think... im up for it!

Can any of you Webmasters, Patrick, etc, pick up the torch for WU and keep this thing going, i.e.: updates of all the normal sites that we would normally see on here other than just this board being updated ? Does it require a licensing deal that WU had? Thanks for an answer...
