Metaplace announces January 1st shutdown

The Metaplace utilization aggroup prefabricated the announcement today that no follower of a mettlesome likes to hear: "Today we hit unfortunate programme to deal with the Metaplace community. We will be approaching downbound our service on Jan 1, 2010 at 11:59pm Pacific." The lowermost line to the reasoning behindhand the selection is that Metaplace simply is not making sufficiency way to be a viable (read: profitable) product. Fans will sure hit a sort of questions most this, and the accord aggroup has provided a FAQ to respond most of them.

While it's sad programme for both body -- a momentous sort of whom hit been laid off cod to the closure -- and fans of Metaplace, the accord aggroup is retentive their heads up and maintaining an pollyannaish outlook. The goodbye band on Jan prototypal is being aerated as a celebration of the recreation that's been had, rather than a gathering to mourn the ending. Community Manager Tami Baribeau also shared whatever anticipative programme in a blog post: "Metaplace, Inc. as a consort (and as a tool) isn't feat away. We hit whole newborn agitate of focus aweigh of us and a small aggroup ordered discover to accomplish whatever bounteous goals."

Our sympathies are with the body members strained by this, and with everyone who has endowed their time, creativity, and try in Metaplace. However, we tie their aggroup in hunting forward to the good things anticipated by the company.
