Worfolk Online could use it’s own official blog really but then that would mean another installation of WordPress and I really do have too many already. I don’t want them to reach an unmanagable level. Plus it already has a blog on Blogger that keeps track of new sites.
Anyway, while it’s generally our policy to keep all sites online, I’ve decided that it’s just not work it for some of the sites we keep running and therefore we’re moving towards a policy of, “if a site doesn’t perform, it’s gone.” This will allow us to invest in new sites which I think will provide some new and exciting opportunities.
Back in January, Old M World became the first site to be officially closed down by the network and that was because the site was finally terminated by the host. Today though, TradeConfederacy.com (a World of Warcraft guild site) and SkateForge.com (a skating video site that never finished development) we’re added to that list. They have been removed from the listings, links from the network and generally vanished from the net.
This is just the start of a series of closures though. Not that we have a big series planned but over time as domains come up for renewal or maintenance needs to be done on a site – it’s just not going to happen, the site is just going to be taken offline instead.
Sites that are also heading for the chop in the next three months include…
- Maze Radio (maybe)
- Maze Times
- Dean Is A Gimp
- Mispelling Guide
- Avril forums
We’re also deeply considering the future of…
- Server Admin Newbie
- Pitiful Fish
- 4xd.net
It’s sooooo hard to let a site go but some sites are just draining resources and are either never going to get off the ground or we just don’t have time to develop them (which is even harder to let go when you see a site that has potential but you just don’t have time to do).
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
