Welcome to Dusk 'til DawnDusk til Dawn

Where do we go from here?

Friday, 12th February 2010 | Filed in Website

My on the spot thinking of trying to think of a Whedon quote suitable for the title of this entry has failed me somewhat. Will this one do? I guess you can tell me once you’ve read this entire entry. It’s getting ominous!

Over the past few weeks, maybe months, I’ve been thinking about the future of DTD. Thinking hard. Thinking long and hard. Thinking which has led me to a decision that I’ve been teetering on the edge of for a very long time.

That decision being *drumroll please* …. Closing Dusk ’til Dawn down.

Shocking? Maybe not as shocking as the news could be. The updates, reviews and general entries from me have dwindled in recent days. Since I ported this site to a new content management system I’ve never really been able to import all the old content, and for that I feel incredibly guilty for any visitors who’ve come here.

It’s been a fairly known fact that I’ve not loved Dollhouse. And what’s probably less known is my admiration of Joss Whedon slowly diminishing. Slowly I might add, he’s still very highly regarded with me! These factors coupled with a lack of time has led me to the decision of closing DTD down.

I opened this site back in 2000. We’d got through the millenium, bug-less, and it was all about the internet. This site has been going for a decade! Putting that into words has shocked me actually! This site has been around for longer than the likes of flickr and Facebook! Well, maybe it didn’t lift off quite as well, but its had its hay day, and it was a good hay day.

I’ve really enjoyed running the site. I’ve met a fair few people who I’ve got into contact with through this site and made some really good friends from the UK and over the pond. It’s been a lot of fun and I wouldn’t be a web designer right now had I not started this site when I was 15.

So goodbye DTD and thank you to all of you who’ve visited DTD and have left me nice comments on the site, forum, old guestbooks, emails, wherever. Had it not been for you guys, I probably would have taken the site down years ago.

I will be keeping the Twitter site alive, but it may undergo a name change. The forums, however, will be going.

I won’t be disappearing from the Internet completely either. You can find me on my own Twitter account and I’m blogging on and off at an old domain of mine – Time Well Spent. I also co-own Jonathan-Woodward.com. There’s also my flickr site where I post all of my photos, including those of any conventions and signing events I will inevitable still going to. So there’s plenty of places that I’ll still be around.

A big thank you to all the visitors, contributors and friends I’ve made over the years here, you’ve made the site worth running and it wouldn’t have lasted as long without your help. 2000 – 2010, it’s been fun guys and hope to see you around somewhere, some other time!

10 whole years! There was no youtube back then. Goodbye DtD, and thank god you are in at least six other parts of the internets.

I'm in more places than i thought i was on the Internet!

10 whole years is freaky though. It gets freakier the more i think about it.

I will be very sad to see this site go, but I definitely understand the decision. 10 years is a LONG time and you deserve props for keeping it going for so long. You’ve done an amazing job with the site and I’ve been so lucky to have you as a sister site at Flights & Much Ado! :)
