So I go on postloop today after a few weeks (being sick and being on vacation) and I see on my dashboard plain as day Postloop Closing November 1st.
I had been noticing that the amount of forums on postloop has diminished quite significantly and because of this Ryan (the site admin) has decided to close the doors to postloop.
This is sad because I really enjoyed postloop, I had been on there for years and made a decent little amount with it. I'm not sure why the interest with it fell off but it did and now a great site with a great concept is shutting down.
Now, if you are a member of postloop as a writer, you have until November 1st to cash out your points using the guidelines that have always been there (100 points and have a rating above average. I currently have 82.18 points so I am hoping to get to 100 and cash out for the final time.
If you are part of the site as a forum or blog owner and you have over 100 points you will be refunded $0.10 per point on November 1st.
:( I'm sad to see it go but hopefully there will be more opportunites like it in the future.

I registered and was accepted but never posted as the subjects were too boring.
I do think the concept was good but they were too exacting with grammar skills.
A true forum has a mixture of people not just those with absolute fluent English...if I had some blog or site and was paying for comments I'd want a nice mixture.

Completely true. Besides, if I write personally a good French, I dislike forums where people are criticized for their bad spelling/grammar, and when it happened, I often took their defense. Anybody having something interesting to tell should be allowed to tell it, whatever the language skills.

@EddieHands some tech type sites and other things I can't remember as it was ages ago I last looked at that site.
I seem to remember some health and exercise ones but that's about it.
The discussion starter here would be more able to tell you about the available forums through postloop.

@topffer 100% agree
Even if you have someone on your site/forum that is struggling with language, that can be good as it'll generate activity among those that want to help that person and understand more about what they are saying.

I liked the site. I did quite well there and met a lot of great people. I am sad to see it go.

There are not many sites out there anymore. So many have closed just this year.

I visited the site long back. However, I am not impressed. There are many complaints and sorrow states of grievances put forth by the members in the reviews. They were sometimes taking the writers unawares which was called 'disgusting' by many. Though I tried and wanted to write some, I felt some inconvenience. Time and again I was facing some problem or the other either with my laptop or with the power in the area. So I have decided not to go for that site as it is not sending any positive signals. This is what is going to be happened shortly to the Bubblews also. There is one more such site I want to mention but not recollecting the name.

I read about postloop yesterday when I stumbled across myLot and had also saw that someone had stated they were closing on November 1st so I never even loaded their site. I heard they were extremely picky, which is unfair. As long as nobody is cheating the system...their grammar shouldn't be judged so heavily, that's what makes a forum a forum, if we were all robotic and typed the same it'd be pretty darn boring.
