BnRMetal.com...

...is apparently no more.

I went to the page this morning to look up a band and it was gone.

www.bnrmetal.com

Found this little blurb, for what it's worth...

Looks like the domain name expired today and he didn't renew it on time. I'm sure it'll be back in a couple of days.

Unless someone else grabbed it before he did.

as long as he's been online, how could he forget to renew his domain name?

And he's an IT guy. Sucks that domain names are bought up so fast when they expire. My goodpigbadpig.com was bought up within a day.

I'm sure he'll be back.

He's spent too much time on that site for it not to come back under another name, but it sad to have that domain name taken like that.

It's back up now.

Yea, that's what I'm seeing too.

poo.

It's a good site. I like the revamp he did a few months back.

Just an expired domain name.

That sucks! That was a site I used regularly....

I wonder if he can change the name slightly and get another domain up.

I used that site a lot too, but I also use a similar site by some British dude.

He needs a better site name though!

Cool site. But he doesn't even begin to touch the vastness of BNR

That blows.. hes where I got most of the album covers on my blog.

You're right. not as many bands - still a hell of a lot though - but I use it as there are a fair few European bands on there that aren't on BNR, particularly Scandinavian black and power metal bands, as well as some British thrash bands that BNR doesn't seem to go near. Also, I've discovered several British death bands there as well. Detrimentum come to mind, who are just awesome.
I guess it's understandable considering where they both live....

It was when I checked it out at the time.

CLAW!

Why do I encourage this behavior?

I never really looked at BNR Metal a lot. I am always using either Librarius Metallicus or Ecyclopedia Metallum

I think it is really hard to "compete" with Metal Archives and that's probably one of the reasons why BNR is no more...
