Ta Ta For Now

Fortunately, I'm not saying this to you. Unfortunately, I'm saying it to RySpace.

I'm sure most of you know about RySpace, but if not, just click that link. For those of you who do know about it, you know that I recently shut it down. The reason why is explained in the blog over there, but the reason is quite obvious, if you have been stopping by over there often.

It's not what I wanted to do, but I figured it was just becoming a waste of virtual space, and decided to bring a stop to that, and just abandon RySpace altogether. It was a sad day, beacause as I look back on the years I've owned RySpace, it makes me sad.

In 2007, I started RySpace, thinking I could create the best web site ever. A site where all my friends, and family could play games, watch videos, and have fun! But, as time went by, it became much more than that. Soon, I had members from all over the country, and in 2008 I had a couple of visitors from the United Kingdom! I changed the look of the site, until it looked as professional as any other social networking site. I even added my own logo!
But, starting late last year, and early this year, I started to update the site less, and less, until site ratings skyrocketed in mid-summer. But, by the end of Summer, things were looking bad.
That led to today.
This dreadful day that I tried so hard to prevent from coming, just as the Grinch tried to stop Christmas from coming. But, in the end, there wasn't much I could do for the site; I had no money for all that big stuff, like domain names (I had an online buddy by one for me for a short while), and search engines (I actually got RySpace on Google, but that was for free, which is another story...), and all that. So, I did what had to be done.

The reason I tell you this story is to share my feelings with you, and show you how much I loved working on RySpace (plus, aren't blogs made to allow you to talk about your feelings, and stuff like that? Makes me think of what girls might write in their diaries... *shiver*). Even though RySpace didn't quite live up to its expectations, I plan on making more web sites in the near future, that will, hopefully, become more successful, and stay that way.
If you would like to see what's left of RySpace, you can click the link above, or under "Partners" on the sidebar.

Blog to you soon!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
