So why was the site brought back? Not complaining whatsoever but it does seem random, given the reasons it was shut down in the first place. Hopefully we don't have to go without Below Empty for ANY period of time ever again...

Wondering the same thing. Was it just to bring our favorite STP spot back? Or is there some news on the horizon regarding the legalities of it all?

Maybe BE just shut down to scare away the influx of Linkin Park fans.

I don't know.

That would be awesome.

Did the site HAVE to really shut down though? It's just my speculation, but I don't think it did. Of course, I'm sure we're not privy to what Rik knows, but I think it was a preventive situation more than anything. To protect himself, AND the future of this site itself. I guess the legal fine points between STP had to be set before Scott's tour, and as someone mentioned, I don't think it's coincidence at all. Obviously, Rik must've found out everything was OK for him to reestablish the site.

Whatever the case, moving on...

I don't see how Below Empty has anything to do with STP's legal battles. It's not like discussions on a bulletin board can be used to the benefit or detriment of either party.

Exactly.

Remember when a few weeks, maybe months, prior to the shut down, there was a random announcement about pictures and certain media links being taken offline from this site? That was strange, and perhaps should've been foreboding of what was to come. Maybe Rik had a heads up on all of us and kept quiet til it was time to pull the plug entirely - for the time being that is - until he knew nothing else would jeopardize the site. Entirely, I think Rik has had BelowEmpty's best interest in mind at all times. Precautionary measures, I believe.

Hey boys. And girls. Thanks to whoever posted on Brett's site about our home being back. I wouldn't have thought to check.

Rik - what's up, my man??

I stopped checking BE because the band's dead.. Then I sort of felt like checking to see if it was back, and there it was!
Good stuff.
