That's a great idea but from what I have read, Anakin is pretty busy right now.

Also, I wonder how much it would cost to take over? Cant imagine its cheap...

Yes, it does sound like a good idea, but it would be sort of tough on Anakin since she has to work!

As for prices, I'm not sure, but domains (.com) are relatively cheap. The problem is space, and paying the technical support of a site with that dimension! It gets rather costly for a private single entity.

I'm fairly certain that I would keel over and die if I attempt to run the largest website in Keanu fandom, even if I quit my job. I mean, it has 60,000 members! And they have updates just about every day, and get news from all sorts of places, and have different language versions, and CK hates its guts, and it's basically whopping huge and way out of my league.

But I'm nonetheless honoured that you think I might be able to.

...Alternatively we could bug Keanu until he buys the site, and then all run it together or something.

Anakin if Keanu or any of his people open that site again then Im sure you will have a lot of people backing you for help or what not. Trust me I would.

I actually don't know.

We could send letters to Erwin? I wrote to him once asking him to ask Keanu to mention having an Xbox360 in an interview. No reply. $1.10 down the drain.

naw, don't think Erwin would be interested in this...
but you could send him the Kenselton Hotel thingy, once it takes more of a shape...


besides, taking over keanuweb - not only the domain, but the whole database - and managing it is quite a task. ( All my respect for Merlin !! ) Theoretically 'we' could make a subscription and buy the site, but who'd gonna manage it ? keep it in shape ? trim and adjust it ? keep it in the same spirit or modify it ?
difficult...
as all commitments are.


which goes to say I appreciate your work in keeping up this site. it's not a small thing.

I think Keanu's management is the answer. I know Erwin's email addy is out there somewhere but only held by a select few. What is the snail mail addy? Maybe if a few of us write, they may take some notice?

I' ve already asked people on imdb board to try to make a sort of collection to buy the website, but, apart from viva_real_siempre I got no answers.

Then I asked Merlin how much he would want, and he told me that he would sell the wbsite for $10,000, which I think it's a right price for him and all the work he has done in 14 years, but it's a bit too high for us.

I'd like to write, but it costs much more for me because I'm halfway around the planet.

The idea of running Kweb really appeals...although I'd have no idea what I'm doing maybe I'll just hang out here for a while and try to talk my man into subsidising me so that I can give up work and do this instead
