TI-News Closes
Posted by Michael on 16 February 2004, 01:45 GMT
It is a sad day in the TI community as we have learned that TI-News (link points to the web archive) has permanently shut down. A combination of technical issues and a lack of interest prompted this closure. We wish to thank Tim Buckingham and all of the former TI-News staff for their contributions to the community.

I'll probably feel stupid tomorrow when I look at the replies to this but what the heck:
>Does this mean no more news on ticalc.org too?
>If so, will the rest of ticalc.org stay up and running?

For those wondering, DLGreen is just one of the many sites hosted by the previous host of TI-News. I told Rick he could remove hosting from his machine.
TI-News has held the following domain names at times: tinews.dhs.org, tinews.net, ti-news.net, ti-news.com
My lack of interest had nothing to do with a lack of users. TI-News had many dedicated fans, with a userbase of well over 2000. I've moved on from computers to music, but I'd like to thank all of the visitors over the years.
I will be releasing the source code to TI-News in the near future, and it can be used freely.

When I can think of an appropriate alcoholic beverage to describe the TI community, I will pour that on the curb for TI-News.
Perhaps a Jello shot?...

That's really too bad...today was the first time I had even heard of TI-news, and it looks like it was a great site... :-(

It was also closed once it became the "Will White and Kerm Martian News Center," as they were abusing the unofficial news feature.

As a former "admin" of TI-News, I support Tim in whatever he wants to do. It was a cool site and I enjoyed reading and making the ocasional news post on it in the past.
