Blogshares was a fantasy stock market game, where the stocks were the various blogs found around the internet. Their share values were determined by the number of incoming blog links they possessed.
Suddenly, without warning, Blogshares closed down, apparently as a result of technical problems and too great a time commitment of the site owner.
Instead of being able to log onto the game, players were met with this message of ceased operations.
Many dedicated players, who had paid to be "Premium Players" were dismayed by the shutdown, as some felt cheated out of their pre-paid fees.
Since that time, however, rumours of the game's return from oblivion have surfaced.
The game is for sale to whomever wishes to purchase it.
According to the report on the website, there are possibly some interested buyers.
We'll see if the Blogshares game returns.
Stay tuned.
