Their announcement here.

Too much to quote. In short one has to pay up or become educational.

Not surprising news, but affects me. Decided to let my tiny wiki rest for now (download it if you want).

This is a disappointment. Wikispaces was pretty cool back in the day, though I admit I haven't used it in a number of years ever since registering a domain name and getting a hosting plan. Seems that the internet's running out of free (both in terms of cost and bullshit) wiki hosting spots. I guess that's the end of the Web 2.0 era showing its ugly head.

Pretty sure someone who's been around here for as long as "here" has been around can determine where to put their posts, dude.

Heh I'm used to it, on Geocities over five years.
Zendurl was pretty cool when it worked. If only the fleeting novelty of running an Acmlmboard.

Not all that interested in modern simpler alternatives to a web presence like Facebook.

I still maintain a web presence of sorts. I should really go about actually putting content on it, though. It's more fulfilling than Facebook -- you have much more potential for response than someone mindlessly frobbing a button with a little picture of a thumbs up on it as they scroll past waves and waves of dumb memes and party pictures with the occasional introspective musing in between.

Too bad I wasn't at this stage in my life when blogs were getting to be the next big thing. Would have been awesome.

It's easy enough to launch a wiki on a web hosting service if you buy one, so while this is disappointing, it unfortunately is the usual result of any 100% free and easy service without an obvious revenue stream.
