Marissa Perry, of abandon.org, wrote the following goodbye to her website:<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, those of you who have followed the strange life of this website know that I am notorious for starting and stopping it on a whim. It’s like an old lover I get nostalgic about and try to resurrect every couple of years, only to realize I am no longer 14 and it is no longer 1999 and some relationships are better left dead.<\/em><\/p>\n

It pretty much sums up my feelings for moonstruck.org, which is interesting to me because I’d thought that we were of a comparable age and our websites have been around for about the same time. In fact, of the numerous vanity TLDs I used to link to when I was younger, hers was one of only three extant at the time I decided to end moonstruck.<\/p>\n

I registered moonstruck.org in May of 2000 because it alluded, then, to what was one of my favorite manga: Sailor Moon. I kept it for so long because I liked the connotations of the word. I finally let it go because it could never fully become what I needed it to be because it was so connected to what I used to want it to be. Does that make sense? I know it’s silly to be so sentimental over a webpage, but I came of age with it. It was alongside me as I found my identity.<\/p>\n

At any rate, the tiles below are a snapshot of but a fraction if its many incarnations.<\/p>\n
