      I like to Porky Pig sayonara.  Frightening.

      I tried that site and couldn't stand it. Wasn't user-friendly (to me) and their payment system was terrible. I guess this is my way of saying I'm not going to miss them.

      Yeah, I invested a hub on those turkeys... It even still gets traffic. Soon as the traffic finally stops, chopping block time. In fact the same thing is happening to me with another hub of mine about another writing site. That site is soon to be a corpse, too. Yours truly isn't writing anymore writing-site reviews...

        I think I read that hub you wrote on the site. It was a good hub too.

          Thanks. I made a few bucks from it, but good-bye my dreams as to the yearly, steady income stream. Darn thing had placed good in the SERP's, too.

      Writer Fox,
      Wow!

        I don't think it's a wow moment at all.    The surprising thing is that HubPages and a couple of others are still standing, considering Google's attitude.

          I couldn't agree with you more, Marisa!

      Had I known of Teckler and had been writing there, I personally would have been dissatisfied with this abrupt announcement. Where is constancy and loyalty?

      By the way, I nearly lost my computer today. I'm so relieved that my son-in-law was able to fix it (Windows hadn't shut down properly--all I had was a gray screen with a cursor).

      Ultimately, I remind myself--no matter what happens in life, God loves me and provides all my needs.

      Thank you for your attentiveness to web activity, Writer Fox. These updates, I'm sure, help persons considering opportunities online. Blessings!

        I saw a blog post  about this closure a few weeks ago, made by a Teckler member.   She had received an email announcing the pending closure.

      Me either. I never got paid on any other site except this one.

    At the end of the game, the site lost its AdSense account.

      That will end a party pretty abruptly.

      Almost 1 1/2 years.

    I have not even heard of Teckler. I did not miss much. I never thought Squidoo would fold up so there are really no guarantees.

    I remember that I did check out "Teckler". (R.I.P.)

    I checked out tecklr a few months back. They had very few rules and were being spammed like crazy. They lost their AdSense account due to the large amount of spam and would have been obliterated by Panda anyway.
