    Bad news for the hopeful directory owners out there, and possibly another nail in the Coffin for the industry, as an 8 year old specialist directory dies.

    Hallz.com, a Canadian website began life on 21-Feb-2000, only to fail sometime in 2008. Eight years is a phenominal amount of time for any directory, and they have my respect for surviving that long.

    Now it's nothing more than a holding page in the wilderness, it's spirit lives forever in the directory graveyard. May it rest in peace :(

    RIP......


    Why bad news? Because this shows how quickly, once established directories can fall - so any can fall. It only had 540 links to it's name, and my guess is sales weren't happening, and lost thousands of links very quickly.

    when are you gonna stop coming out with this stuff seriously?
    "another nail in the coffin for the industry?"

    you have no idea why the directory isnt there anymore but I doubt its because "sales weren't happening, and lost thousands of links very quickly"

    That makes a lot of sense, well if it was making healthy profits then it wouldn't be 'parked' would it. And as another poster pointed out, it went bust in March 2007.

    I checked it a while back and it appeared to be functioning.


    because it's true, I don't make the rules, I'm just fighting the war :D

    You should know by now that I can take care of myself, and that this red rep stuff doesn't mean anything to me.

    I make my point using words, not by bullying. But am more than capable of doing that too :)

    Oh dear lol. You know, Mikey - don't join this crowd, because as the saying goes 'Mud usually sticks'

    ....and for the record I didn't bully or threaten anyone, those actions are coming from other quarters.
