Re: CastleCops Closed said by KeysCapt:Does anybody know WHY this took place? I doubt we will know for sure but on the surface it is because Paul started working for MS, Robin and Paul had their 3rd child and no third party showed up willing to run the site that demanded 28 hours a day attention and up to standards and conditions Paul and Robin asked for.

Cudni Well that makes sense, but it doesn't seem like Paul to just terminate everything that way, especially if there are no archives available. As has been said already, a lot of people put a lot of information there.
Too bad, really. |

kudos:13 | Yes, very much so. CC had a good volunteer team which could have continued CastleCops work and legacy. Alas it was not meant to be.

There was at least one past thread in this forum speculating that, since Paul went to work for Microsoft, he'd be required to divest himself of the site. It was a somewhat argumentative thread if I remember correctly, but I think it's still around and there was some good discussion and speculation in it.

kudos:4 | I was just going to post that link. I think it is the one fatness is recalling. I reread that thread just now. Maybe Paul decided it was best to kill the site to keep email addresses, etc. out of the hands of any buyers? That doesn't explain though why he has refused to allow the Way Back Machine to archive the site for posterity (I can see blocking Google archiving but not the Way Back Machine).
