It wasn't in this post, but it was a separate rumor that the site would be deleted. This sounds crazy, but is exactly what other digital publications have done recently.


Any examples? I don't remember any news about this, although the only publication I can remember with major changes recently is Pitchfork.


There can be licensing issues, stuff breaks, stuff gets hacked, most content just gets really stale...

I was involved with some sites recently that stopped publishing new content. The plan is to keep most of it around for now. But I have no illusions that if it becomes a "project" for some reason or another in a few years, it will just be turned off.
