Question For Former Persona Paper Members

I have a question for former members of PersonaPaper.com.
I stopped signing in and commenting back at the end of January 2016 when they made the announcement that they were closing their doors. But the site is still online and displays all of my posts.
Some of my content has been republished at my other blogs with a note that the content first appeared at Persona Paper.
Thought about deleting the posts - since it has no income potential for me. But the problem is that many of my links have already been shared via social media. If people happen to find one of the links and clicks it, they might end up nowhere. It might impact my online reputation adversely.
I'm confused and don't know what to do with my FOPP posts.
If you are a former of Persona Paper, what did you do with all your stuff?

I have deleted 2 articles that I wanted for here. I left mine there in the hopes of a last payment which obviously isn't going to happen as over a month has gone by since they made initial payouts. They haven't had the decency to post an announcement of no more funds as if they want all the posts to remain. If PP is done, why is it lingering for months?

@cmoneyspinner Oh yeah. At the beginning of March, they began paying from the bottom down (the most coins first). I emailed back then when nothing happened as I was something like $13 and they said there would be some more payments. More time passed and when I commented on PP about what's going on, they responded in sort of nasty manner. I haven't heard a thing from management since. Many people deleted and cleared out. I would appreciate a statement that that's it no more payouts so I can move on with my posts.

Good point. It is like a free site. That's worth some money.

I honestly don't know. There will be no more income generated from the site, however, so I've been slowly removing articles and with them the links to the article. For example, many of mine were linked to goodreads. When I repost an article, update the link to goodreads.
I'm actually grateful the site is up. I can do the article transfer gradually which makes for fewer problems, few oopsies. And I can still read other people's articles at PP. I can like and comment on them. Since I had a maximum of $1.99 in the bank, I gave up the idea of money a long time ago.

You're right. Since the site is still online you don't have to rush to remove your content. Besides that, the day the announcement was made I saved all my posts on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

At least they advised us to backup our posts should the site be closed. I let mine stay there and did not visit it for so long. Hope they will pay higher this time so more members will come back.
