Trev has always been tops in my book, and his service and quality equally top notch. I'm sad to see the site go down, and sadder still that he's left the balcony. |

I couldn't agree more. Trev has always been a straight shooter; the quality of his DVDs has been uniformly excellent and his contributions to this site informative and thoughtful. Also, his generosity is unparalleled. Just a great guy. |

All, I got a nice email from Trev this morning and without going into what all he said shutting down the site was something that he had planned on doing around his approaching 65th birthday (14 months away) but decided now was the time. I just thought I'd pass this along. Barcroft |

It's my professional opinion that Trevor felt under-appreciated in the ongoing Balcony contributory listing of where the best available serials can be found, and decided to take a break from providing his services. Hopefully not permanently. |

I also enjoyed Trev's posts, and I take this opportunity to thank him again for the DVD. Can definitely relate to turning 65, which catastrophe overcame me a few weeks ago. I think the worst part of it, as a state-side citizen, will be figuring out Medicare. |

I largely agree. No matter how you slice it, he told one person that it was a good time to wrap things up, and publicly said that he was shutting down because he bought a DVD with a glitch in it. However, if he was bummed out that people weren't rating his serials highly, then it makes it doubly silly to dismiss anyone that tried to for not having his latest copy, which was obtainable on a site that you couldn't order from at the time. Either way, dissatisfaction with his role in the hobby seems to be playing a part here. People get burnt out and move on. When it stops being fun, it's time to do what it takes to recapture the magic. And I can confirm that spending your evenings burning DVDs isn't much fun. |

LG, I usually don't disagree with you but trust me Trev is done with the website. Barcroft |

I'm surprised nobody has thought of the fact that he took great umbrage at the suggestion of the trading group and that THAT could be a contributing factor. The very idea that anyone would "pirate" his DVDs set him off and the fact that Rodney pointed out--more or less--that pirates really shouldn't complain about piracy was probably just as much a factor in this as the Jesse James serial DVD and the list of available serials. |

Me, too, but as I recall that was only one person who said something so stupid. All things considered, it's a shame one rotten apple spoiled the pot. Er, whatever that saying is. On any website you can usually find a lot more than one shithead. And stop looking directly at ME. |

I think you are being a little harsh, LG. The individual in question did not suggest trading commercial DVDs and/or DVDs being offered by existing enterprises, like Trev. He was hoping to generate a trading club, among Balcony members, of serial titles that are either not readily available and/or were available from vendors who have since gone out of business. I'm not exactly clear why Trev has withdrawn from posting here, but based on what Bart has reported, Trev planned to shutdown his site soon, anyway, controversy or not. It's a shame he felt he had to accelerate his plans, but still doesn't explain why he feels he cannot post here anymore. His posts were always fun to read. |

People are people, and we may never know. On the other hand, he might come back someday. No point in blaming somebody still around unless we want to get rid of one more. Maybe we should be more polite. On the Internet, that would be a novelty.
