When the old site really started playing up, I did post on these forums to say suggest you copied and pasted you wish list and put it somewhere safe. Did I do that myself? (I was going to, honest)  Luckily I copied my lists (oldest swaps and book list) when someone suggested it a week or so ago and my wishlist is on GR  |

Yes, it's sad, bookman - we all miss it a lot. But we are a small group on here..... there were thousands of members. I believe there is a facebook page but I don't do facebook myself. But as I said somewhere else, stick around, join in and at least you will be in booky company. |

I think the cost of postage has a lot to do with it. It's cheaper to buy secondhand books from charity shops and online. |

It's cheaper to buy secondhand books from charity shops and online. US postage isn't that cheap, either. But the likely number of users of any site in the US is obviously much much larger than it is over here, so both site traffic and ad revenues would be that much greater meaning the site could at least cover its costs, if not make a profit. |
