Should I keep Rainbow Forest online?
« on: October 13, 2015, 03:02:34 AM »
Hi all!

As you may or may not know, 13 years ago I created the site Rainbow Forest as an ID guide for gen2 ponies, which didn't exist yet back then. However, I haven't updated the site in ages; I simply don't have the time for it, and most of my ponies are in storage anyway. I attempted to update it twice, but I never got around to finishing it. By now, I am 100% sure I'll never get around to completely updating it on my own.

I am currently moving my websites to a different host (which is why it's currently offline), so I'm looking into everything that doesn't need moving to save myself some time. I was wondering if I should move Rainbow Forest, or just delete it? There's plenty of better gen2 guides out there these days :) Of course I can put a simple page in its place redirecting new visitors to some of these.


Thanks!

I would be sad to see it get deleted. Whenever I need info on G2 ponies or accessories I ALWAYS use your site.

I actually ALWAYS use your site too!  It's been very helpful and is easy to navigate.  I say if you are able to move it rather than delete it, that would be wonderful.  :)

I always thought it would be better to pass a site on to another person instead of deleting it. Maybe someone would be willing to "adopt" your site. So many great fan sites have been taken down because the owner moved to a different stage in life and could no longer keep it up.

Adding to the chorus that Rainbow Forest is my first-choice site for G2. I would be sad to see it go, even if it's never updated.

Oh! Wow. I honestly hadn't expected to hear that this many people still use it! thanks so much :) So glad to hear it's still being used. I will definitely get it back online. I seem to be hitting a few bumps in the road with the move at the moment, but I will do my best to get it back up online tomorrow! I will also add a notification to the homepage about the current state of the site :)

I'd love to see it stick around, even if it's "static" and no longer updated :)

It's by far the best G2 site out there, and who knows maybe one day you will get time :)

Your site has been most helpful when it comes to gen 2, please keep it going.

I use it too!  Also have it bookmarked.  Please keep it up!  :)
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.
