The leader of NAMBLA, Peter Melzer died recently, and the site has not been updated as he was managing it.

The site will probably be repurposed for something related to NAMBLA, when the agreement with the host runs out. Might involve an archive of the NAMBLA site or NAMBLA historical documents. That has yet to be determined. The site obviously gets a constant flow of traffic from the legacy of comments that have been made about it in mainstream media.

Peter Melzer left some money to a trust for the betterment of causes he pursued in his lifetime.

Well it is good that it may live on as a monument to the men who tried to push us in the right direction.
Is Ipce still an active thing, can anyone help?
