I am sure the blog have informational and entertaining value even if
the project is not going to completion. Is there any reason to take it
offline other than making this more "dramatic"?

I hope you giving up on your CoCo game has nothing to do with some
people disagreeing with you on the MPI or CoCo4 topic :p

Actually I don't see what you are saying about the creative community.
There is more creative people than ever on the list, creative
suggestions in abundance and people getting things done too. Recently
there has been a rush of newcomers producing new stuff.

That active and creative people jump around and come and go on
projects is normal.

Welcome back later, and I hope you will pick up your game again when
you get the inspiration back.

Tormod
