1. It's a shame to see them closing a site like this one that is clearly growing rapidly. I understand the reasoning behind closing a lot of the smaller sites, but I confess this one baffles me. Granted I'm not privy to what kind of revenue it's bringing in, but it certainly seems like a viable property to me. Good luck on scooping some of these sites up!

2. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you buy up all these blogs that AOL is casting off and start up a blog network. I hear it's the cool, new thing. It's all Internet 2.0, viral and tubes and stuff.

Hey, what's that over there? Is that Kool Aid?

4. If you have a non-compete of some sort, feel free to use me as the front man in any blog purchases. ;)

5. Well... it seems like you regretted having sold Weblogs Inc... You knew this was going to happen, it's always the same when you give your "baby" in adoption to a big monster like AOL.

Let them go, Jason. These blogs are something from your past, something that you decided to leave behind. You are not being very consistent with your decision.

6. Jason - Why not sell the blog instead of shutting it down ?

7. As a writer for PVR Wire I'm pretty sad to see the blog go - especially after its doing so well.

9. I remember in bubble 1.0 there were a couple times where a company would get sold, the buyer would mismanage it, and then the buyer would sell it back to the original owner for pennies on the dollar.

10. Jason, why are all these blogs closing down? I don't understand.

11. I agree, seems like a bad move.
