I sold shaunlow.com
Sep. 20th, 2007 by ShaunI am very sorry guys 
I have failed my readers and myself. I have been through 3 weeks of school and I am already falling behind in my studies. I just don’t have the time to put in the effort to write quality posts anymore. I have 5 hours of class per day and at least 4 hour of studying per day, not to mention I workout 5 days a week, play hockey once a week and like to hang out with my friends and have a good time on the weekend.
This choice was not something I planned on doing from the begining, I had wanted to keep this blog for as long as I lived but I started this when I wasn’t attending school and assumed I would have time during school to maintain my blog. I would love to thank all of my readers who helped me along the way and for all of you who have helped me accomplish everything that I have done so far.
I will still be reading the same blogs I do today ( you guys know who you are), but I won’t have the time to invest in my site anymore. I sold my site on sitepoint through a private sale which I am not allowed to mention how much it was sold for. Here is my last batch of link love, this is a shout out to all of my close buddies I made all along the way and this is the least I can do to thank you guys.
I will be on msn messenger everyday so if any of you guys have MSN please feel free to add me I would love to keep in touch with some of you guys! sportz_fan3000@hotmail.com
Thank you all again I am sorry for the such short notice.

By the way when school is done in May I will be back on the blog scence so you guys better still be around to help me get a new blog started. Enjoy your blog carreers I had to make a choice between my school marks or blogging and school is just too important.

I’m so sorry to hear this Shaun. I completely understand, and I think you’re making the right choice. I can’t imagine going to school on top of everything else I’m tackling. I know you’ll be back and what you accomplished in such a short span was astonishing. I hope you realize how much you’ve helped and inspired a lot of us in a short time. I’m with YC…if you feel the urge to write sometimes, you are welcome to guest on any of my blogs anytime.
Good luck with school…and have fun…man, I miss school

We will miss you! I know exactly how you’re feeling though, and in fact do read my post a bit later tonight on the same topic.

Take care of you and good luck in school.
All the Best,
Heather

September 21st, 2007 at 12:11 am
WHAT??????????? You actually have a real life? Can’t fault you for that can we! I know exactly where you are coming from and I’m having the hardest time the past week myself with new things coming up that I’ve had to deal with. Today I didn’t even make a post, first time in a very long time, but other thing things just keep coming up. Feel free to guest post at BlueJar and you will be missed! Just because you aren’t blogging full time doesn’t mean you can’t comment :c), so drop by when you have a second and let us know how your doing.
Thanks for tossing out some last minute link love too! Goodluck with your studies and as I said before, if you are motivated to be in school - stay there and keep going, it is the right choice. You are the best and take care! /huggles
September 21st, 2007 at 2:35 pm
@ Gnomeynewt: I hated missing a day of posting it just didn’t feel right. I will be around to comment and stumble my friends posts every week
. I also have a bunch of posts that I didn’t find time to publish so I wouldn’t mind showing you a few to see if your interested in having them on your site as a guest post. They aren’t finshed 100% yet but they are half decent. Thank you for your support you have always been a good blog buddy !!!!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:10 am
You just do whatever needs to be done. We’ll be here when you get back buddy.
September 21st, 2007 at 2:39 pm
@ brown baron: haha thanks man
@haris: it’s ok I’ll still chat with you on msn often
@Bush: thanks man I’ll be around to read your site as always!

Wow. This is certainly a big surprise man. Well, I know we’ll all see you again at one point and in one form or another. We all know how tough it can be trying to juggle so many things at once so I for one wish you the best of luck in all that’s coming. (#):) Hope to hear from you from time to time!
September 21st, 2007 at 8:06 am
Good Luck Shaun!
September 21st, 2007 at 2:41 pm
@ adam:

@madhur: I will check out your blog weekly!!
@shamn: same with you man you were the first person to EVER link to my site I remeber that it was an honor working with you
September 21st, 2007 at 9:21 am
Thats a big decision buddy . Studies always come first , you can create a blog whenever you want but your school days will not come back . So best of luck to you for the future . And i will be in touch with you through IM . And do visit my blog if you get time .
September 21st, 2007 at 9:55 am
We will wait for You Shaun. Thank You for this 3 months, You have helped me a lot, and I won’t forget it.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:15 am
Sounds like a wise choice man!
Don’t forget to a little partying inbetween all the studying
September 21st, 2007 at 2:43 pm
@ thomas: hehe that partying has already started my friend
college is fun regardless of the amount of work I have to do ! thanks for the comment
@alilsumption:
i appreciate it thank you for the kind words, I really hope I can get back to blogging when this school year is done.
@nomar: thanks man you have a great blog going as well I have been reading your blog since day one I get alot of ideas from you !!!
September 21st, 2007 at 11:28 am
Don’t think of it as failing your readers or yourself. You helped a lot of people by giving us useful, insightful and entertaining articles and you are taking with you the experience, friends, fans and so much more that only you can define. You have done all this successfuly.
So while it’s sad that you’ll be leaving all this behind for awhile, sometimes it’s necessary to take a step back to focus on your own journey - and that is exciting. I wish you the best and thank you for what you’ve shared. Please let us know when you return.
September 21st, 2007 at 12:38 pm
It is a shame to see you leaving
I liked the blog ! It was growing to !! your alexa for last few weeks was HIGH !
Hope to see you again in the future, when you have more time !
September 21st, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Sad news :(. But good luck at school this year!
September 21st, 2007 at 2:43 pm
thanks bro keep up the good work yourself:)
September 22nd, 2007 at 11:17 am
Just let me know when you get back so we can promote the heck out of your future blog.
September 22nd, 2007 at 8:13 pm
@ brown baron: it’s good to know you got my back, I promise I’ll be back when school is done this year
You better last that long so I still have all of my friends.
September 22nd, 2007 at 5:42 pm
This comes as a surprise… but being a college student myself, I can understand how difficult it can be, especially when you are taking a heavy course load.
If the new owners don’t have rights over the content, I would suggest saving it.. and possibly republishing it on your new blog.
Don’t waste the quality stuff you’ve written.
September 22nd, 2007 at 8:12 pm
@ maki: Yup I have a full course load and to get into the program I want I require a 3.4 GPA just to get into business at university of Alberta. Yeh we haven’t really discussed the specfics, I have already saved all of my content just to be on the safe side
September 22nd, 2007 at 9:05 pm
I know what you mean about being busy…Since I’ve been back I’ve been doing schoolwork, running errands, working out, and hanging out with friends…It’s hard to find time. Best of luck with your studies and future online ventures! Hope to see you around

[...] I Sold ShaunLow.com by Shaun Low - I think for a lot of us, this news came as a great shock. But if you read Shaun’s post, he cites lots of good reasons. Nevertheless, his site will be greatly missed. [...]
September 23rd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Good luck pal, I’m utterly disappointed but I know you will go on to do great things!
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:31 pm
Meh! Errm… I’m pretty sure you thought it through before doing it. As long as you’re happy with your life, none of the tears we’re shedding matters!
September 23rd, 2007 at 11:32 pm
Oh! Sorry to hear that you had to sell this blog. But good luck and all the best for future. Hope to see you some day back in blogosphere!
September 23rd, 2007 at 11:33 pm
BTW thanks for the mention, my link in the post is not correct!

November 30th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Wow, another blog sold!!!!
Selling is becoming a huge business, I did not realize that!
This make me thinking I should do some internet realty business instead of blogging!
