Watto's Junk Yard / SirStevesGuide Goes Belly Up
« on: March 29, 2006, 12:06 AM »
Got this mail...
So one of the older sites bites the dust... "SirSteve" starting something new then... That's gotta suck being overtaken by another site and it not going how you wish... Sounds somewhat familiar though doesn't it? *cough*CSW/RS*cough*
SSG was one of the first sites I visited many moons ago before I posted online... Then CSW I finally opened up and started talking. I'm not sentimental about SSG's demise, I just thought it was somewhat interesting. I can't imagine it'll stay open so I'm assuming it'll go kaput here.
Times are a changin'...

I am sad to say that due to irreconcilable differences between myself and ACTION Online (who hosts and owns the domain), I have to part with my own creation, "SirStevesGuide.com". I started the site back in 1995 as a collector and joined with ACTION Online in 1999, who now owns all the rights to it (it was the best decision at the time to keep the site going). SirStevesGuide.com has always been a team effort from fellow collectors, the staff, the mods and I appreciate all the support I have received over the years. This is not the end of "SirSteve", just the end of me running "SirStevesGuide.com". I will be starting a new site devoted to everything Action Figures and Collectibles rather than just Star Wars and run by collectors, for collectors. I have no idea what is to become of the domain "SirStevesGuide.com" or who will be running it (if anyone). I know I have not been the most active "forum" user but maintaining the site takes a lot of time. I have done everything from the graphics, web design, content, photography and so on which take a great deal of time. That's why I have trusted staff members to take care of the forums. I hate for it to come down like this but it will be for the best in the end. I have met a lot of great people while doing this and I would not trade it for anything.
