I still visit the site a lot for the Flexbox guide. Hey, it's sad that it went down but if I were Chris, I would have sold it too probably. That's the way it is in the economy of the internets: maintaining a community resource that is above and beyond typical SEO junk is hard work and DEFINITELY does not pay what it should, considering it's real value to the community. (It probably would if large tech companies did not exist.)

#12I miss that page so much. Honestly I kind of forgot about the buyout for a while and didn't notice the sudden lack of well-written articles about cool new CSS stuff – but one day I realized that nothing relevant has been in my RSS feed for a while and it seems like this won't change in the near future :/
Chris now helps run the Frontend Masters blog (called Boost). It's got solid content (some from myself) on there!

#13This site was amazing when I started front end development. I remember checking in from time to time and finally seeing the blunder with DO. DO was another starting point for me in my career when I was learning servers. Sad to see this outcome.

#14Gutted for the decline of CSS-Tricks. I've yet to find any place as good.

I also use the site for the flexbox guide.
I think I might have to just paraphrase the parts I keep referencing on my own site and use that as reference instead, just in case.

Hey, amazing front-end content and I'm so happy that there are people trying to extend the knowledge of everyone with such attention to details.
One very small thing that hopefully comes off as constructive: The contrast of the text colors could perhaps be improved further? I mean you have zero a11y issues so it's not technically a problem really but somehow all feels too dark in general?
Anyway, thanks for the hard work for all involved.

#19In the link related to Geoff being fired from CSS Tricks:
>Anyone who knows me well knows that I never have one job, but many eggs in a number of baskets.
That's one of the wisest approaches to life: having multiple sources of income so that in case you're laid off, it won't affect you that much -at least financially.
