Hydrogenaudio Closes Doors For Now

Posted by timothy on Tuesday October 21, 2003 @09:31PM from the that's-a-shame dept.

verloren writes "The Admins at Hydrogenaudio, the community site discussing audio compression and related issues, have temporarily closed the site. They've posted a notice stating that they're rethinking the standards of the community, and how they're enforced. It seems to have been sparked most recently by a debate over what media players to use, but has been brewing for some time as the objective standards required at the site have been overlooked by many posters. The sister sites Foobar2000 and Rarewares are still available."

New problems, such as the rising cost of reliable high speed hosting...

I think that has just became an even bigger problem!
