After four years, I have decided to close down my site davidadaire.com. The renewal notice came in the mail recently and I couldn’t think of a good reason to keep it open any longer. Since last year, I’ve been blogging here and have transferred all of the davidadaire.com archives over here.
Initially, David Adaire seemed to me to be a cool-sounding pen name to have. It still has a certain ring to it. But I suppose more than anything I have grown tired of its ambiguity. No that’s not it.
So why am I closing it down? Ah yes, I don’t want to pay the renewal fee. Not a satisfying reason? Well then, I don’t want to pay, plus all that other stuff about names and duplication.
Plus, I’ll rest more soundly at night now knowing that the real David Adaires of the world need no longer suffer the intolerable shame of being davidadaire1.com or even therealdavidadaire.com. Poor guys have had it hard the past few years.
This will not be the last domain name I shut down in my life, but it was my first ever domain. It saw me starting out as a naive English teacher in Korea and saw me blossom into the delicate flower that I am today.
Goodbye David Adaire dot com. May you find your one true nameserver somewhere, someday out there in cyberspace.
Goodbye too David Adaire. Your name was okay, but you just didn’t write anything dude.
