I just got back from a vacation, read the rest of the gym story (thanks for posting it on the home page, I'll post my thoughts later) and found that I can't renew my membership and no Credit Cards are accepted at all for membership. Is this temporary (please say it is) or a foreshadow of the future of this site?

It is temporary. Haven't you read MrGrey's explanation? He posted one here and one on his site.

I see what he wrote, but since he hasn't popped in here to give us (ex)members an update since July 27 I'm beginning to wonder if these Credit Card problems aren't becoming a more permanent issue.
Only looking for an update, I'd hate to see our favorite author leave the net due to some CC problems.

Over three weeks without a word, I guess this question is answered

I'll add my to this. Mr Grey? If you are planning to leave, could you let us know? Just to put us out of our misery, as it were.

And now the site is gone... what happened to Grey?

Hmm, the DNS entry still works, and the server is still there, but the web pages it contained have been removed.
If you want to be optimistic, you could take that as a sign that the announced reconstruction is actually taking place.

Rat, don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be down, I would just like to see a little note from Grey letting all of us, who apparently are among his more ardent supporters, know that things are progressing. I really hope you're right about the site getting a face lift.

Well, given the silence that you quite rightly point out, I'm not sure if I'm optimistic - just pointing out that if someone were, they could take any kind of activity as a good sign, even if it's the act of taking down the remaining accessible pages.
On the other hand, we haven't actually been "paying customers" for about two months now, and yet MrGrey kept going and let the unpaid-for subscriptions continue for another month, so it's not as if he owes us anything.

No, you're absolutely right, he doesn't owe us anything, but I hope he will have the courtesy to let his fans know if he will be back.
