CSS Beauty Sold
Update: April Fool's Day
If you would like to see what the website looked like, I have saved a copy here.
As much as I loved the beauty, it was growing to fast for me to handle and at the current time I have more important things to worry about. This does not mean I will completely disappear... I will continue to act as a moderator on the site and help in choosing sites to be showcased.
As you can see, some changes have already been 350e to the site, and this will continue to happen in the course of this transition. There will also be new implementations, the new owner has a different vision and will probably change the site drastically.
The decision to sell the beauty was not an easy one... but I could not resist the amount of money I was offered... Yes I know you are curious, so I will say I sold it for the amount of $xx,xxx dollars.
I want to thank all who supported the project, it has 350e a huge impact in my life...

It bought me some beat downs but it was fun.
my site. www.kendallstudios.com
The error was so obviously a fake, but they bought it for some reason.
