Another Linux Site Shuts Down

+100. Give me suscriber-only full RSS sources, and I'll suscribe.

The ads on this site are terrible, as others have already stated.
Dating sites, Microsoft products, Antivirus software, Womans clothes... really not interested in those.

Sad

This is very bad news. They had high quality content and I liked that they were explaining what was interesting about every kernel release. I wish they have told us they have problems so we could helped them.

[Ancurio]

This is so fucking sad.. The H had by far some of the most high quality articles I've ever seen for an Sec/Open Source news site.

Also,


I wish they would have at least taken donations.

Add Flattr buttons. I'm not interested in watching any ads, unless they are in some way nicely integrated with the website, but I really frequently click Flattr buttons on any content that I like.

there's an abundance of people using AdBlock, etc, that do much damage to the publisher.

radeonhd.org
chernobyl2010.com
openbenchmarking.org
phoronix.com
phoronix-test-suite.com
pts-desktop-live.com which redirects to the previous address
phorogit.com
phoronix-media.com
phoromatic.com
michaellarabel.com

it's a waste to turn off the adblock, all the money from ads/stats are going to be spent on phoro* domains.

I really don't wanna sound like I'm telling you how to make money, Michael, but I believe PTS consulting and custom development, especially for the HPC and big data Linux industries, could be a good revenue stream, with Phoronix mostly a place where you publicize the consulting biz.

There's already lots of commercial / consulting stuff around PTS, but unfortunately Phoronix takes up much of my time...

AdBlockPlus does not block non-intrusive ads (by default).

In that regard, you'd want the articles to focus less on gaming and more on server speed, etc. In any case, a lot of the folks playing games today will be running IT teams tomorrow.

Just my two cents. All the best!

I'd subscribe again, but last I've heard the you-have-to-come-to-the-forums-every-day bug still isn't fixed

Also the H rocked, very sad to see them leave.
