Site closings out of the blue I was meaning to check out SydneyMoon.com for a while, actually just looked at it a month ago and it was still there. Now it's still online, but only existing members can log in, you can't join anymore, and it's about to go offline. Here's what makes no sense to me. Why don't these sites announce it ahead of time when they are closing? Don't they want the extra cash from a "liquidation sale?" Don't you think they'd get tons of business if they just said, "Hey I'm closing in a month, so this is the last chance to check me out?" I'd even join a site pretty close to the bottom of my list if I knew it would be my last chance, just out of curiosity. There should be a place for sites to announce this ahead of time, alert their fans, and make some extra money before going out of business. Even something as simple as a subreddit dedicated to this. Any thoughts? Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

My guess is they don't for fear of last minute download rushes from people like myself and password sharing people. Depending on their hosting contracts it can end up costing them money.

That's a good point. One month only memberships aren't what most sites are really looking for. If they come through affiliates that take 50%, sites can even lose money on those memberships under some circumstances. I'd take a last chance opportunity to join a site even for twice the price or more though personally. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

I once thought this might be true, but experience has shown me otherwise. In cases where webmasters have made announcements, there have been no servers flooded with traffic, and no payment processors overwhelmed. While there are a few site closings that sparked widespread outrage among fans, PSP being the prime example, most go out quietly. I think there is usually no announcement prior to a site closing because there is no will left to make one. It's just time to pull the plug and move on. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |
