Long time & popular Sitepointer Chris Beasly, aka aspen, has had his blog killed off over at Sitepoint and has had his moderator privialeges revoked. Ironically, the traffic at his own forum at websitepubilsher.net has increased dramatically thanks to this situation. Despite the popularity of his Sitepoint blog, Sitepoint has decided to move in a “new direction.” What direction that is, they haven’t revealed yet.

About Andrew I develop and build branded internet properties. Despite a red hot acquisitions market and billions of investor capital flowing back into the post-bubble (1.0?) web countless profitable opportunities remain. Commoditized human knowledge labor combined with dirt cheap processing power and bandwidth are leading to a "paradigm shift" or perhaps a "singularity." Eager to keep up with these changes (along with selfish personal reasons) I write this blog. |

Wow, I’m shocked, I hope Chris blogs somewhere else I enjoyed reading his sitepoint postings.

Sitepoint is probably going to move more towards focusing on designers and developers. Not publishers or marketers.
I don’t have any proof but that’s just what my gut tells me.

Thats what I think too. It does seem interesting that they don’t want the market of entrepreneurs making hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year online, but would instead prefer a market moving toward commoditization that is increasingly made up of outsourced workers in developing countries. Too bad for them, it just opens up better oppurtunities for bloggers like me and Chris’s WebsitePublisher.net.

I hate to dignify SitePoint with a link, but I just posted my response:

I think Chris and his fans are perfectly capable of giving them a big black eye. I, for one, feel betrayed.

[…] Andrew Johnson posts that Christ Beasley of Sitepoint has had his blog removed and moderator privileges revoked from Sitepoint. Chris posts in the thread just linked to, and reports basics of the issue on his new blog. […]
