Things that were big on the internet years ago and managed to barely hold on for a while have all ceased to exist relatively close to each other, randomly. Newsarama was a hot spot for comic-book news and then, due to various sales and mergers, became a shadow of itself before being utterly gutted at the end of April and firing its last writer. ComiXology has been slowly being broken down into parts, and now its last employee has, "Exited the building." The once-popular search engine known as Ask Jeeves/Ask ceased operations on May 1st as well. Lots of stuff popular in the late 90's or early 2000's is gone, and these sites are just some examples of that. Time keeps marching on, I suppose.
