Plug Pulled on 'Game Show Kingdom' blog

It now redirects to Blogger's Placeholder Page Of Doom ('Sorry, the blog...has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs').
No reason given for the sudden termination.

Shame, they were in the middle of counting down their annual 'Salute of Champions', too.

I never knew who was behind GSK, but it was a pretty impressive site. They transcribed every game show on the air, and it was useful for seeing what happened on WWTBAM when the Bored Transcript Team was not available. I wonder if they just forgot to pay their hosting bill. It seems odd to have it shut down with no notice.

According to Wikipedia, Blogger is free, so if they've gone and pulled an Imageshack* by switching to subsciption instead, that would be disappointing.
A similar site, wofrecap.blogspot.com ('Wheel of Fortune' US recaps) is also gone as or earlier this week.


* - Imageshack was a hugely popular image hosting site that was free for years, but switched to subscription in January 2014, and promptly plummeted from being the fourth fastest growing web brand online, to around the 1,500th. Previously uploaded images from the days of free were allowed to remain, but those will now be deleted, along with their accounts, at the end of this month.

According to someoneone on the Game Show Paradise forum, this is the new home for GSK, on WordPress:

Pretty much all the WWTBAM shows were there, and recent shows are now at the new location, with the only difference being that they paraphrase/abbreviate questions and use occasional YouTube links.
