Wait, what? Is valleywag shutting down?

• minimaxir 11y ago
  The Valleywag reboot started with Sam Biddle, Nitasha Tiku, with Kevin Montgomery joining later. Simultaneously, Biddle was moved to main Gawker after causing an advertiser to drop millions in spending, Tiku move to The Verge (later, BuzzFeed), and Montgomery moved to BuzzFeed. Dan Lyons attempted to restart Valleywag but due to personal reasons it was short lived. Valleywag has been dead since.

    But it's not dead-dead, http://valleywag.gawker.com http://valleywag.gawker.com is still running, still producing new articles as you can see.

      You may want to check the dates on those "new" articles :P Most of those articles are reposts from elsewhere on Gawker as well.

        Ah, you're right, sorry about that. Kind of a weird decision to just let it... die. I mean, valleywag's name branding has considerable value, if they just employ folks who keep on writing articles that valleywag always had, it would work well.
