The Deathwatch is meant to be a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down, or to serve as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly. New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here.

  • All of the 1UP Network and related properties shut down on January 31, 2009. [1]

  • Circavie.com (owned by AOL) has announced they are closing on January 15, 2009. [3]
  • Co.mments.com announced they are closing on January 11, 2009.
  • The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is up for sale and if it doesn't find a buyer by February 10, 2008, the print will stop after 146 years and the website will be shut down. [4]

When the Big Guys Cough, their Subsites get The Flu
