I’m thinking that the author is doing this so they avoid thoughts like “the website is still up, why am I not posting anything on it?” We are talking about a person who felt the urge to post at least once every single day of their life, while maintaining a job.
Don’t underestimate the relief of a clean ending. The author isn’t in a good place, it won’t do him any favors to leave it up. He clearly wants to put this chapter of his life behind him.
My one question is why the site is shutting down rather than merely not making new posts anymore.
