Yes my friends, we have reached the end of an era. On the 10th March, 2012, aka last Saturday, the domain for one of the kings of Shock Sites, Meatspin, finally expired.

Good night sweet prince. You will be missed.

What does it mean it's url expired?

I don't really understand. Did they just stop paying for the domain?

Sigh, oh… oh meatspin… why???

There is a God.

Yeah, according to a blog post from Aug 2010, the website is part of a network called ShockingMedia:

With the hopes of bringing Meatspin.com back to life I have been trying to add new stuff here and there but I simply do not have the time. I am looking for some comical and/or twisted writers to help us keep this blog and other aspects of the network up to date. I currently run a network of more than 1,000 websites and try and prioritize based on the highest earners, Meatspin not being one of them. If you would be interested in writing for Meatspin and/or helping out with various other tasks, please feel free to hit me up at shockingmedia@gmail.com.

Sent a message to see what's up. In the meantime, feel free to start a postmortem entry for Meatspin! Currently, it's mentioned in our Shock Sites parent entry.

Really, it has? Are you sure? Let me go check real qui-
Wait, no, I think I'll just believe you instead…

I would be fascinated to know if they keep long-term stats on total number of spins viewed per week/month/year/all time.

Ok, someone download the .swf so we'll never lose it

People of Encyclopedia of Britannica stopped Printing their books and have the books online instead. It's good because it will save a lot of paper and ink.
But then again…
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
