Ellis's Engine seizes up

Online communitiy to close August 31

Quoting directly from Warren's Bad Signal blast: "THE ENGINE will close  a little before midnight UK time on August 31 2007. The first year  was about getting creators together and facilitating conversations that  didn't have anywhere else to go.  The second year was about just  providing people with an interesting place to talk.  Two years is  enough.  Time to move on. So you've got three weeks to mine out the  place for the data you need, exchange contact details and all  that."

"I've informed Andrew, the host, of my intent -- it's up to him  whether or not the Engine remains as a static archive, though I've told him  it's not necessary.  The search function has always been a bit weird,  so I'll be opening a thread for you to help each other find what you  need. http://engine.ning.com will remain open -- in fact, I'll add a  forum function to it for those of you who want to stay together and stay  talking."

Great, now we need to build a new online community for comics creators, fans, and the like...

Hmmm.
