IJDb Shutting Down
Dear IJDb Members, rec.jugglers, and friends,
The IJDb has been live for 11 long and happy years. But now, I am sorry to say, the time has come to shut it down. This site has been a labour of love for myself and many contributors (who are too numerous to name, you know who you are), however, for the past five years it has received very little (technical) attention. As a result, parts of the site are in a bit of a bad way (perhaps not visibly or externally, but trust me, it is an accident waiting to happen). I have made the occasional request for assistance, but nothing has really come of it. Personally, I am not upset about this at all, my preference is that someone creates something innovative and new, rather than adopting my work. This is much more likely to result in a new site that will last for many years, rather than allowing this one to just plod along for a few more years.
I hope you all understand that I am not doing this out of spite or frustration. It is just my wish that the site is shut down on my terms, whilst it is still something worth remembering, not slowly left to rot (just like the site that the IJDb superseded).
I plan to shut down this site at some point soon. And after this, the sourcecode and data will be made available for anyone to use under a suitable open source licence (all email addresses and personal data will be removed).
I sincerely hope people understand why this is happening and that the IJDb will be replaced by another (or many other) new websites.
If you want to discuss this shutdown, and more importantly what to replace the IJDb with, I recommend contributing to the thread I have just started on rec.juggling.
Regards, Colin E.

 | IJA eZine
The International Jugglers' Association has had a long history of producing Juggling magazines of a very high quality. I am happy to see that the IJA has embraced the internet and directed its energy towards a new electronic magazine. You can expect the same level of written quality, but now with added videos, competitions and more, with the newly launched IJA eZine - Colin E. |
