Chris and I have decided to suspend operations of
HoosierGazette.com to concentrate on other
projects.
We would
like to offer special thanks to the following that made our
site a success:
--To our
wives for putting up with all the hours we spent on our
computers maintaining the site, even though they thought it
was a huge waste of time until they saw “Hoosier Gazette”
mentioned in an article in Time Magazine.
--To
Fark
for giving us our big break. If our
Jason Smith/Purdue Basketball
story had not been posted on their site in December 2003, we
might still be plugging along at a whopping 30 hits a day.
--To all
the half-assed bloggers, radio DJs, newspaper reporters, and
television journalists who fell hook, line, and sinker for our
hoaxes. We couldn’t have gotten over a million views without
you!
--To all
the informed bloggers, radio DJs, newspaper reporters, and
television journalists who invited us on their shows or did
stories about the site; it was fun meeting everyone and we
appreciated the exposure!
--To our
loyal fans who visited the site regularly. Sometimes we were
hot and the writing was good, other times we were mediocre,
but you kept coming back for more.
We have
had a great time working on the site the past 19 months, but
it is time to move on. Chris and I are developing a blog we
hope to launch this winter, and I am finally going to sit down
to write a screenplay for one of the movie ideas I have. On
top of our day jobs, this doesn’t leave us much time or energy
to put together an issue of THG that is worthy for print.
Therefore, we will now say so long and fairwell.
