Code Project dead - well almost

[tonyweb]

At this very moment the site simply shows an IIS error.
WoW. Very rich and valuable source of articles and, of course, code.

It will be missed if it'll shutdown.

CodeProject.com is changing
To our many friends, site members and customers:

The tech recession has hit our clients, and by extension CodeProject, very, very hard. After nearly two years of significant financial losses we have been forced to shut down the business behind CodeProject.com, CodeProject Solutions Inc.

We tried incredibly hard to avoid this, and despite our best efforts, and injecting loads and loads of money to bridge the gap, it was simply unavoidable.

Shortly the site will be switched into read-only mode. Our hope with this change is to allow another party to maintain the site as an archive of great code, articles and technical advice. We are working hard to make that happen and while in no way guaranteed, things look very promising so far. However for the foreseeable future, and possibly permanently, new postings will be disabled, for articles, for forums, for QuickAnswers and the other portions of the site.

We have been extremely proud to be part of the software development landscape for the past 25 years and proud to have helped so many developers learn new technologies and skills, to have helped our customers introduce new products and services and have the opportunity in some small way to help shape the future of the development landscape. Thank you for being part of that journey with us.

Some people have speculated about what is happening, about Chris and David "making out like bandits" by selling, etc. and we can tell you with great honesty that all of us involved in CodeProject took a massive financial hit over this, while doing everything in our power to find a solution.

Chris, David and the CodeProject.com team.
