Thanks for your help @mcberko for trying to preserve this site. Hopefully something will come of it, even if ABI doesn’t lift a finger to help.

Yea, you think AB will sell RB “back to their founder, six years after acquiring the businesses” ?

big thanks, that’s an informative article!

well it was a different outcome in that case (i.e it wasnt shut down), so may be worth highlighting that in emails etc to them, was also reading between the lines and people can read it and makeup their own minds how ratebeer may have got to this point

Here’s to hoping someone can save the whole database of beers and ratings, and recreate that somewhere else someday.
In the meantime, I’ve put in my final 2 ratings and that’s that.

I just wanted to note that I am no longer manually adding images to our online storage. I really appreciate the enthusiasm and all the dedication to this part of the project over the years. We have an immense number of images.
