I'm in a real quandry about me website.

I just got the renewal notice; it's gone up again and the current exchange rate means it's going to cost me over £100 to keep it on for another year  and I'm wondering what to do. TBH, I've pretty much lost interest in the thing. The message board is moribund, the chat has moved on. Aside from the downloads, practically no one visits it anymore.

I could get free-space and move a lot of the text-based stuff there but obviously, if I did that, the galleries and the downloads would have to go.

So, I suppose what I'm asking is, does anyone really care? Would it be massively missed if it disappeared, because I admit, I'm tempted to just let it go.

ETA. Looking at the comments, it does seem all anyone's really interested in is the fate of the downloads. Maybe some other arrangement can be made to host these on another website (though be aware that it requires a lot of memory and bandwidth)? It does look like the rest of the site can go because it doesn't seem  that anyone will miss it at all.

Like I say, it's not just about the money - the increased costs have just distilled a whole slew of discontent I've been harbouring over the site and the way it's used for a long time. I really don't want people donating money, that's not my beef at all! If I still cared and still wanted to do this, the £££ would make no difference, I'm just tired of the whole business, it's nothing but a massive headache and brings me nothing but unhappiness.

There are no legal issues, no.

As I've said to many people, it's not hard to save a download and burn it to a dvd. It's what I suggest to everyone if they want to keep the files to watch over and over. It's what I do.
