I am also a writer there at wikinut. I had posted 328 articles .I been inactive for few months because I prioritized other sites. This day, Wiki admin sent me message about its closure after 6 years of operation.Of course, I am so sad.I felt my heart down.The pay at wiki is also very small,but what I care is friendship that won't last from the different writers here and abroad. Beer Money Nation has just been closed after its 3 weeks operation, and here comes now another ache. I will never forget the friendship built in that Wikinut site for 2 years .RIP wiki. Thank you so much for the moderation and the experience gained in your site.

Wikinut is not really closing down. It just stops paying the writers. Expertscolumn and Mylot were two websites that stopped paying, and then they started paying again. I think we can hope that Wikinut can come back stronger than before.

@scheng1,Please read the poem of sir johnndod and the replies of sir Steve, it seems they are saying goodbyes to each other. The message I received said shut down.I will be happy if they will resurrect in 2016 with a better wiki.

I wrote at Wikinut under the name Peanut Butter. It was when it first opened. I did not do much there. I did not have a camera or smart phone at the time and had difficulty with images. I was never excited over the site.

Another writing site is down. Not encouraging for new writers who are looking for genuine sites. I was a writer at bubblews which is already gone. If they have problems with revenue sharing they should stop that, not the whole site.

The news is so frustrating.There are almost hundreds sites closed due to mismanagement.You are right, they should have stopped the revenue sharing and adjust the fees and suspend recruitment so they can gain again , not just to shut down as they want.In the case of wikinut, it was explained there everyone will be paid until 2016,unless delete the account.

@hereandthere, I was paid monthly, but very small. About my articles, I already saved some.

Thanks Erly I am also very sad about Wikinut. I had many friends. They stopped paying. I had written many articles, got huge responses.
