Fallen websites
« on: April 24, 2016, 01:19:24 PM »
as i sit here scrolling through my myriad of saved websites links and bookmarked sites i am seeing reems of fallen.    Mind you i am not the last person to have several several several websites, actually i have over 200, of that figure i have found close to 80 sites lost.   Battletech, Rifts, Macross, Robotech, Marvel, DC, and on and on.   Palladium is the worst with many sites closed by letters from lawyers.  many of my sites i have saved are now either completely lost or found in the archive of the web.   a sad state of affairs in my opinion.

It's the nature of the beast.  I think the rise of social media sites has been part of the issue as well, as people can come together and share without needing to set up and maintain a website.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

I agree.  Blogs, Twitter - so much easier, and with a lot of these, they're offered free to generate revenue from traffic.

That's when I am glad I never did a website (I came close to work on one with Knightmare once but he went to do something else 8))

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."
