panik | 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 hate to see it die too, it's breaking my heart because I have a lot of love and history tied up in that websiyte but tb totally h, it's been dead for a long time. The only bit that's still alive is the dl page and that makes me miserable. I've been feeling more than a bit taken for granted over it all and thinking of ditching it all for some time. This has just precipitated the decision, really but - yeah, it's making me very, very sad, but then it has been for awhile and it'll probably be a relief when it's over. :o)

::hugs you hard::

Aw - don't be sad baby ::sobs with you::

Maybe it's a good thing - the money angle is making up your mind for you. I'm so bloody sentimental though - I hate change and things dying, even though it tends to be a good thing in the long run.

::sobs on Snail's shoulder::

nah. I'm good. I was very depressed last night and this morning but I'm over it now. It's a bit like a beloved old dog - you love him still even though he's been getting old and sick and bald and stinky and other people don’t really want to pet him anymore, but you do, you love him and want other people to love him like you do, but they can't and you know he has to be put down for kindness sake. I've just made the decision to put the old dog out of his misery. It's breaking my heart but I know it's for the best.

Am I being a silly old sausage? I suspect I am. ::doesn't care. Thumbs nose at sobriety and common sense::

Well, if you're being silly, then so am I.

It's exactly like an old dog that needs putting to sleep, and it kills you to do it, but once it's done you feel better for it. Time to knock it on the head hon.

As long as we don't lose you ... now that really would be a bloody tragedy.
