Started a discussion a few months back about how excited I was to be a member of another blogging community. Unfortunately, this community has "gone dark". No explanation. Just speculation. Actually ... it's not even worth it to speculate.
Moved on. Trying out Virily now. They do quizzes. They do other stuff too but I like the quizzes.

Actually that site had been around for a few years. When it started they used to write all kinds technical articles about stuff the average person like me would not understand. Then it's like they transitioned and opened the doors for other writers of more general topics. When they used to approve posts the content was pretty good. When they stopped approving posts it quickly turned into "Dumpsville". I sort of sensed it was going to go down. It had all the “signs”. But I wanted to see if I could salvage some of my content so I checked in every day until one day … I'm like: Oh well! Whatever I didn't save is gone now!

@cmoneyspinner That's sad when a site loses it's focus like that.

The good thing was that the site paid for all of your activity: logging in, updating your status, participating in forums, etc. It all went down the drain.

There's no excuse for it. They have a loyal member base. Why don't they ask the members to help save it? The members want the site to work too. Duh! When they go out like that it makes you wonder.

If you enjoy making and taking fun quizzes, it's good. A lot of people there are from Niume. They're doing the same thing. So if you were at Niume and want to try a similar site, go to Virily. Only Niume didn't have lists and quizzes. The quizzes are turning out to be more fun than I thought.

Yes, unfortunately, most of these rev share writing sites are bound to go down. They are best used by making a quick payout or two and moving on before they fall. Sorry you got caught up in it.
