Does it require a licensing deal that WU had? Thanks for an answer...
Patrick already expressed his disinterest in this site in that manner. I offered to do it back last year to Wu but like usual the request fell upon deaf ears. TBH, Wu has let this site slowly fade out under his wing for some time now it's only when he finally stopped updating the pages did you all really notice. If anyone wants to know, they can PM me...

Okay, I just saw the message on the main board, and I'm completely stunned. I'll leave it up to a more respected and tenured member of this forum to create a thread for it, but for right now, I just want to send out my condolences to the friends and loved ones of Alex F., aka Wu. What he created here is something that has always had a big impact in my life and because of him I've been able to interact and befriend many of the other members of our community.
Go easy Wu. Know that the rest of us will do our damnedest to keep your legacy going, and someday, I hope you and me will get to catch up and look down (at those toes).
Raising a beer to you soon, John

Also noticed the banner. Quite disturbing. Since the registration section of the forum was closed - like someone said, never checked it myself - it should have been something that was expected (or known by someone in a while)

Holy smokes..that was an unexpected thing to read. Not sure where else to post this, so we'll put it here. I've been here for many years, though I'm not a huge contributor, I'm often here at the end or beginning of my day 3-4 days out of the week..so here's to Alex/Wu and all he's done to keep this community up and running.
Take care brother, while we may not have known each other personally, we definitely had at least one common interest. In your creating this site and these forums, I've been able to explore an inner passion of mine, which I may never have bothered with if not for you. Thanks for all that you've done in keeping this site up and running for so many years, you will be dearly missed by many.
Rest in Peace and deepest condolences to your family and loved ones

Oh no... Wu's was/is, to me, the home of foot fetishists and female feetlovers on all of the web. It's the Grand Central Station for all of us... Such a bummer. So sorry for family & close friends. What a loss. This site has been such a part of my life for more than the last 15 years...

@Patrick: We are very sad! At least to remember Alex, his site should not be closed. You are already doing a great job as moderator. Please continue doing this! Additionally there should be a discussion about how to pay the provider. I think a solution has to be found quickly.

Right now it looks like BHE is going to figure things out. This site is too valuable to let dwindle away - and not just financially to them either. This place is a community and always has been. I'm sure they'll be taking a look at things, but it's way too soon to up and change what is/was. Now that we all know what has happened, whatever moves are to be made should be made with the interest in keeping it as Wu would have done it in mind. It sure worked for a long time, so no need to fix that. I'm sure BHE will do what's right by Wu's memory.

It is encouraging that bhe put up notification message so we have an answer to the mystery and it seems they are staying commited to keeping the site...so lets hope we go on full steam ahead!
