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.

I would miss it but that's quite a lot of money. Tough decision either way :(

Sorry if you're one of the very few who do actually use it, hon but in all honesty, I'm really tired of hosting the downloads - which is all anyone seems to care about it, not a single poster has mentioned any other aspect of the site. It's a lot of time and trouble, particularly having to respond to the many rude and snotty emails I get and the more I think about it, the more relieved I'll be when it's gone.

It's really a shame when people take a valuable service for granted and then get rude on top of it. I don't blame you a bit.
