Subject:  More Site Closings
Hello Webmaster:

I hope you are doing well sadly a few more sites will go
away by April 1st and Castle Surf: is one of them.

With Paypal playing games and shutting down my account
permanently with absolutely no reason why and I have tried
everything I know to find out why, I have to let most of
my sites go, as you all must know I have been selling them
for some time, at least 3 more are going away by the first
week of April. With no income and running all these sites
it's obvious that things must change and so the closings
will continue.

I have always liked running the exchanges and yes the site
rules were strict but I could not possibly handle all the
issues with the 35+ sites I was running at one time, so
steps were taken to make the sites ran as smooth as
possible for all you members to enjoy surfing with the
least bit of issues and problems.     

Last July I had to give up my dedicated server because of
the huge expense and no income. All my sites now have been
running using 4 different hosts and all have so quirks.
Some hosts are real slow and surfing seemed to stop
occasionally, but that issue has been addressed by again
consolidating my remaining sites onto only 3 hostings now
getting rid of the one that had the most issues.

A huge issue is the fact alot of hostings do not use the
older version of MySql 5.6 so some sites did not save any
changes, so I probably tested 20 plus hostings to settle
for the ones I have and they are not perfect, so recently
I cut down to 3 servers, then only 2 very soon, so most
sites have to go, now you all know the issues I have,
(PayPal being the Biggest Issue).
You cannot imagine the confusion having so many sites
distributed among 4 different hostings, changes and
closing were my only option.

It has been a pleasure working with all you great members
but as the saying goes all good things must come to an
end, so does some traffic exchanges. These 3 going will
not be the end, others will probably soon follow. At least
I have been letting my members know unlike others that
have closed recently with out notice or explanations.

Wishing you good health and prosperity!

Regards,

Bob Boulris
