I ordered a couple vinyl through bleep and before making my purchase I thought of doing it through the boards re-direct. I tried and was unable to make the order from that url. So the store function appears to be useless, which would most likely mean it's temporary. Which would then lead us to think that they would replace it with something else, whether that be a working store or a completely new site. My hopes and dreams rest on the latter.

At least that was my experience. Is anyone else able to login and order stuff through there?

I have had a "followthatpage" alert set up for boc.com for almost a decade, and I've never seen more update notifications than I have in the last 48 hours.

Unfortunately it's all pretty trivial--small changes to (what appears to be) item variants. For example, things like ordering the shirt size choices "XXL, XL, L, M, S", then changing to "XXL, XS, S, M, L" many times over. The most recent one I just received is adding some free UK shipping information....

I haven't checked in on the actual site to see where it's all being done, and am not sure I care until something official shows up, but it appears they're either preparing for something, or at the very least, making it usable to shop from.

It was just a bleep.com problem, the boc store is still there, nothing changed

Now that I think about it, I think what I'm seeing here now is just changes being made to all of Bleep, not necessarily just the BoC page, since the page is effectively a complete redirect?

Yes. Guys, come on, give yourselves some peace ... There's nothing to see here. Black box round two. This thread has enough pages already, its time to chill out.

If only there was an actual black box, we'd know we only had another 5 or 6 years to wait.

well..from my pc the boc store works perfectly, so it's probably an issue from my internet service or my phone browser

maybe they're flat broke and can't afford to maintain the website. it's going to redirect to a gofundme any day now.

If this happens, and if they say they're $53 Million in debt, then it's just Kanye up to his tricks again...

BoC probably did it first, but this is Kanye's "remix"...

The whole Radiohead website got me thinking about this again- it's been so long, I am wondering why they re-directed so soon if something or a new site is in fact coming. I know there was the MDG message about "a new site coming with updates, etc", and we wondered if the re-direct was it, which we all doubted, and I still do, but why re-direct for so long? Any technical reason still plausible (ie. working on the site, not a server issue)?

Probably to say that they are working on something, without saying anything, something new, if not cosecha site I would say they left TH behind and moved on to something else, as their official website was representing the current face of BOC, TH and represses, I always thought when both of them will be out of stock like it was on the announcement of TH. So maybe some TH related material in the future(Because of cosecha site) or not related material (Because also cosecha)

in my opinion. they should have just placed a black box in the discography section so that fans could then patiently wait for a new album. oh wait
