<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26336860, member: 4626"]It's possible (Omnicoin also seems to be dead, btw).

My guess is they passively paid the host for a set amount of time, and at some point just decided to let it run out. They allowed ads just enough so the ad revenue paid the hosting cost; maybe the site was just so little used that the ad revenue was no longer enough to sustain itself. Such is life I guess. I used it a lot, and quite a few other people did too, but I noticed it was updated less and less, and notes I posted would be in the top 25 most recently posted for sometimes over a month. Suggests that probably the owner just didn't see it as worth maintaining anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does kind of suck as I put a lot of work into cataloging my collection there, and there's few sites like that with those features that are simple and free to use.
