The End (For real, this time) | 20/JULY/2024
This project has officially ran out of steam, and I am no longer interested in maintaining it - I thought I could rekindle my desire to do this, but alas, I cannot. I just do not find it fun anymore. I have been on the Internet for over 25 years at this point, and even since 2019 when I first created this website, the Internet has changed a Hell of a lot in that short period of time, and I feel as though a website of this type has no real place in the modern Internet landscape. To be quite blunt: I do not enjoy recreationally browsing the Internet at all anymore for a wide variety of reasons that I will not be going into here. Those of you who know me personally might understand what these reasons are, but in short: The Internet these days is just fucking wack and I do not care about it. Nothing specific has triggered this, I just spend very little of my personal time having fun online like I did 10, 15, or 20 years ago. It's just not the same for me anymore, and it's time to move on.
Thank you for supporting the site and I hope it has brought any visitors to it joy these last few years. I've greatly appreciated all of your emails in my time running this site, and I have a great deal of pride in the fact that so many people have told me it has inspired them to create their own websites and make their own mark on the Internet. I will not be maintaining the directory at all going forward, so please do not email me link suggestions, and please exercise caution when browsing the list should any of the current URL's expire and be acquired by bad actors.
Other than that, I have nothing else to say. If you're disappointed by this news at all, I completely understand, but it is what it is. My email Inbox is still always open and monitored if anyone feels the need to reach out for whatever reason.
