What happened to MacNN News, nothing new is getting posted
MacNN News
closed down as of
July 1, 2016. We do not know the reason, but low profitability is a suspect. Ad rates both per-view and per-click have decreased greatly in the past several years, impacting many web sites.
The News site will remain online, with little or no updates, presumably so long as ad revenue pays the server costs.
The Forums
will remain online and open as usual, so long as forum ad revenue and residual News ad revenue pays the costs. The costs are thought to be hosting costs and the vB license.
