I have finally found a plus for writing sites closing down

If you take down your PP posts, it deducts from your earnings total. There is a chance to be compensated as stated by the owner. I have refrained from deleting as I have $11.88 and don't want to miss out on a potential payout. Once PP closes, you are free to repost those articles anyway.

I never kept any of my post from old writing sites. Some just never was worth to keep for me. Glad your finding some old ones though and can keep for future or just to have.

That is definitely a plus. Sometimes it takes a while to see the positive. I'm glad you were able to find some old stuff that you forgot about.

Yes I am also getting my writings from defunct sites organized for reuse.

Everything old is new again....LOL

If you saved everything as you went, that's great. Me, I talked about it but never followed through. It was enough to downsize my photos to put them up on bubblews, I didn't take much time to save my posts. I thought I did well to save my urls' but that doesn't help when the cache disappears. I was able to retrieve a good portion, like thirty posts, but I wrote over a thousand. I did web clip a few that I 've not looked over yet. I went right away, or within a few days after hearing about PP to copy those posts so I'd have them.

I never bother to archive any posts submitted to sites, so this is hardly going to affect me at all.

Great you have found old post of yours, isn't it exciting to find writings you have forgotten about.

@Jackalyn I think it is nice that you have decided to old posts in your blogs and other sites. Always looking at the positives is a good habit.

Did Persona Paper die? I think I signed up there but never wrote anything.

All you clever computer types with your zip files. One of these days I will catch up1

It sounds like you are enjoying all the reviewing.

I always wrote my text offline, and it's proven it's worth time and time again! I have lots of things that will eventually be reworked for my own blog, and as you know, Huckleberry the Kitten has been doing his blogging training as the editor of The Guiness Blog, reworking Guiness the Cat's old content for archival and reuse. I always thought there might be potential ideas for ebooks, too.
