Airdailyx Closes Down :(

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby gojozoom » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:30 pm

As pertheir site:

"Dear friends, regular readers, visitors, I have to announce you - with deep regret - that my blog is closing with immediate effect. I am more and more busy on my other life, as a professional journalist, and i cannot spend all the time requested for Airdailyx. After one year, i reached 1 700 pages view/day with some peaks at 2 500 and a total of 230 000 pagesviews. I deeply thank people from USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Netherlands who were my first readers every day. I have learned many things on internet blog business, i improved my english (hmm not so much !) and got in touch with many high level professionals of the flight sim market.
It's the end of an experience, not the end of everything. You will read my posts times to times on forums and who knows, i might reappear someday."

Thats a shame. There really arent that many blogs on the ole' interweb covering Flightsim, interesting how most of the action seems to develop in forums.

Might not be dead yet.....................

Dear friends, thank you much for your messages
I am discussing with some friends designers. If i can find 3 advertisers at 100 $ for 3 months, i can keep on the good work. Time is money. Thanks again. I am also thinking of some other way to publish Airdailyx.
