Tonight the doors of Driphter.com have swung closed for the final time. The end of an era. This has not been unexpected. In fact, the closing of Driphter.com unfortunately has been eminent for some time.
The simple reason any site including Driphter.com shuts down is the lack of time available to dedicate to adding fresh content. The reality of life is that we all have real jobs that pay the bills at home. The small amount of time left in the day after work is usually filled family activities. While each staff member at Driphter.com would love to sit and write breaking tech news stories, code hybrids and develop roms we simply can not pay the mortgage that way. Sometimes real life is just that simple.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has contributed to the site and given so freely of their time. Your efforts are appreciated. To all the staff, MyBBOTA and I wish to say thank you for all that you have done all while putting up with my stubborn opinionated self.
