An Important Update To My Websites...

Dear SeveredData community,
The SeveredData ecosystem will undergo a massive change at the end of June. Unfortunately, some legacy services and websites will be kicking the bucket. This is to eliminate unnecessary clutter and make everything SeveredData on one website for a better experience. This will happen on June 29th. These include: (click one to see the reason behind it)
There is no need for this. Unfinished websites filled with inconsistencies and bugs are not what I strive for. I believe that if there are bugs, you guys can report it using my bug reporting contact form (which will be useful later on especially as the number of pages on the site grows) or I'll catch it while editing the site and fix it on the spot.
The Announcements section on this site (which is where you're reading this post from) has replaced the need for the blog site. Every single post from the blog site has made its way over to here.
As much as I believe in the preservation of digital media (including websites), I don't see a reason to have this website. This site offers the experience of the legacy site with more features. Luckily, Google Docs and Sites has a feature where you can view the version history and restore from a certain version, so maybe one day, I can put up an archive of all the site versions (it's currently version 108, with more to certainly come).
This one is getting the axe along with the legacy site. This site offers an improved contact form with added security, along with bug reporting and feedback forms.
Yeah, what is the reason for having this, when the new one found on this site offers a better preview of the document on all devices (and can be seen too)? Also, the old one is only provided in pageless format (which is buggy regarding headers and footers).
Some older websites, like Limitations of Minecraft, will be staying. There is not all bad news, though. I'm planning to start a new website dedicated to myself and my life, so stay tuned. The site hasn’t begun development yet, so I'll update everyone on the progress as time goes on. Sorry for the (mostly disappointing) news, but I hope everyone has a great day or night.
Peace,
SeveredData
