What has happened to avchd.co.uk

Hi,

Just visited this morning to find the site is now closed with this message:

"AVCHD.co.uk is now closed.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our members.

We would like to thank all staff and members for the time that has been put into the website but it is now time to close our doors.

Thank you for understanding.

The Administration Team"

Anyone know the reason for the sudden closure. A strongly worded letter perhaps?

This site has been closed down. Seems alot have been site in the past week, as a NL version of avchd has also been closed down.
It's a shame really, but as long as we can still download HD films in MKV format we can still transform them into Avchd. Im sure people will still post them, just will have to look via news groups for them.
Web sites are becoming to risky i guess and unless the site is hosted in somewhere like catmando then it's gonna get hit.

I do feel they should of informed people about it tho, as yesterday they were still telling people to join VIP which cost £10. So how many might of done it and now the site has gone.

They've made so much money that the risk:reward ratio isn't worth it any more?

good riddance.

password protected content should be frowned upon.

I agree with you, as they'll have tons of films which will be still stored for over a year, yet are unacessible because the passwords were on their site.
Never understood the ego trips that some people do just to try and get people to sign up to sites etc. With stuff like rapidshare uploads i can understand but not with newsgroup stuff.

They were hacked and are now back online.

Can some one send me a invite, so i can join the avchd.co.uk web site??

My email is [email protected]

Thanks

I would also like to register with the site if some one could give me a tip on who I need to talk to or what I need to do to get an Invite I would be very greatful...

Thanks
John
