Sad to see them go. The photo archive should be preserved for posterity for sure, if Ren is ever not able to keep it up. This also brings up another interesting thing- Ren may be a "LBS" for some, but they are an Internet vendor to me, being several thousand miles away. My local shops are under more threat from a great LBS with an Internet presence, like Ren or Harris, than they are from Amazon or Nashbar. In fact, even if lived 15 minutes from shop like Harris, I'd still probably still use their web site for most of my special orders.
