   If any of you have written articles here but never visit the other forum, you might need to read this:
   
   Thank you for being a part of HubPages over the years. Last October, we moved PetHelpful and Dengarden to a new content management system, where they exist as standalone sites within The Arena Group and no longer receive HubPages author submissions. We have now decided to move Delishably, Hobbylark, Owlcation, WanderWisdom, LetterPile, and WeHaveKids as well.
   
   On April 14th, 2025, we will begin to operate Delishably, Hobbylark, Owlcation, WanderWisdom, LetterPile, and WeHaveKids as standalone sites within The Arena Group.
   
   As we endeavor to grow our remaining HubPages brands alongside our Parade brand, we have made the strategic decision to pivot away from the user-generated content model used by our HubPages system.  Moving forward, the content on Delishably, Hobbylark, Owlcation, WanderWisdom, LetterPile, and WeHaveKids will be managed on a separate content management system. Content will be scheduled/pitched, written, edited, and updated using editorial practices shown to provide growth for the other successful properties owned by The Arena Group.
   
   Please be aware that as of April 14th, 2025, The Arena Group will no longer be able to share revenue on content that remains on Delishably, Hobbylark, Owlcation, WanderWisdom, LetterPile, and WeHaveKids. Content that lives on Discover.HubPages will continue to earn revenue through your HubPages account.
   
   If you want to request that your content move back to Discover.HubPages, please email hdavis@thearenagroup.net by April 11th, 2025, to ensure a smooth transition.

      Thanks for posting to this side of fence. I would not have noticed otherwise. I'll have to look hard at my articles and do some head scratching.

   Thank you so much for posting this Bev.
   I wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise.
   This will affect almost all of my articles.
   Thank you once again.

   Send an email to Haley requesting that all your articles be moved to Discover. Otherwise you won't be able to access or earn from them. Effectively, they will be stolen from you.

   I hope we can access the content as an author. Though we may not get paid.

      You won't have access. Best to have them moved and make sure you have back ups ready for when Discover goes the same way.

   Thanks, Bev. Like so many, I would not have known.
   
   Not that it makes a huge difference - while I used to earn 4 digits each month I seldom make payout now.  It started with the movement of Dengarden and just continues to slowly die off.

      I already asked mine to be moved. It sounds like Hubpages, as we know it, is going away. Kind of sad to see it go.

         Yes, it is sad.  HubPages was good to me for many years, and helped tremendously through a tight financial period.
         
         But I guess all good things must come to an end, and it is about time for HubPages to fade into the sunset.

   Just noticed that all my niche site articles have been moved back to Discover.
   I have backed up all my HubPages work, as well.

      Oh yes Chitrangada, all of mine are back on Discover too. I do have a backup. But won't they give us time to take backup in case they decide to shut shop? Really wish i'd joined hubpages earlier. I learned quite a bit here.

         Hi Anupama,
         I really don't know about this, whether Hubpages will shut down or not. For the time being, it's good that your articles have been moved back. Moreover, we must have a backup of our work.
         There isn't any doubt that Hubpages was much more better in the earlier days-- Perfect for online writing, for learning, user friendly, for the interaction and of course for some passive income.
         Let's be optimistic that it survives, as it has done so many times in the past.
         Best wishes to you.
