Remember to backup anything you have on it!!!

Makes sense. With the recent development in ad blockers as well as browsers themselves, it is getting really hard to do intrusive ads. Without revenue, it is pretty hard to run a site like that for long. They were good while they lasted though.

probably
but there are odd people out there

Old like me. I will definitely miss them.

The thing is, nothing that we do that others are not doing already. And the competition is fierce, there’s no brand loyalty.

Yeah I know, you are pretty much right about the competition, except the fact they do have 45m monthly visitors to their domain. Even if 0.1% of them buy premium... that's 45,000 x $sum. even 0.01% is 4500 x $sum could be something (taking into account their operating costs)

They had many low scums methods to bank hard from this: adwares, selling data...etc, but they didn't, and strangely didn't opt for premium packages ??!

In some country, this site is blocked. So, who cares. RIP.

Feeling nostalgic but this industry is adopting at a rapid pace, you can’t stay stagnant hopefully they’ll get into something nice now.

Adblocks would destroy the internet. I've said this a million times.

The earlier a tech is available to circumvent adblocks or they're entirely banned, the better for the net.

Premium packages with more quote per file (it's limited to 500MB), Automatic Backup Software... there are few ways to monetize this kind of services.

What other ways will you monetize the massive traffic ?

True the competition is fierce but when you have 43 Million monthly users you should be able to convert them into a free trial that hopefully leads to a monthly subscription.

Better than the trash monetization they were doing before.

Fucking crazy they're letting this die.

Most likely coerced to shutdown by govt agencies or something of that sort. Adblockers existed since forever and do we see any ad services shutting down?

Was no one interested in buying the platform?

How do they work?

There's a few ways they could have monetised that traffic but it seems like it was probably run by some people that were not so business savvy. At least they gave people warning.

They made my childhood better. Games, apks, software, and whatnot.

You will be missed badly! RIP.

ahaha, no one is talking about the legal threats and infringement copyright claims they were getting. Ad revenues and all that bullshit are just the tip of the iceberg. They have to deal with legal cases, too, which obviously involve a lot of money. Website owners found it easy to close the site than to get into final legal trouble.
