Hard to believe they couldn't have made a go of this.

The 'WebMonkey' brand has a decent amount of cred - why doesn't Wired try to transition it into a proven model, like the Envato 'Tuts' sites?

I guess if they've already tried to resurrect it several times (as the article states) and still couldn't pull it off, I must be missing something.

Still, seems a shame...

I loved this site and the way the articles were written. Thanks to everyone (especially Scott) who contributed to it over the years.

You're most welcome.

In case anyone is interested in some really old stuff, I recently dug up some of my articles from 1997 for a Wired/Hotwired reunion. Here's a doc with some pointers to the wayback machine: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mIMWHlxe_SFilR2YTzGCAmlF...

That's awesome. I tried tweaking the URLs to see if I could find some of my first stuff (1999), but no dice.
