Yes. I had a couple of posts on 1up.com[1], IGN bought it and decided to shut it down.

It was only then that I decided to create my own website and write what I wanted to there. I am still sad 1up got shut down but I probably wouldn't have created my website if it didn't.

[1] Don't know if any one here read 1up? I was a big fan of their "retronauts" and "The grind" podcasts. I loved the analysis of games by Kat bailey and Jermy parish. Jermy has his own blog where he still writes and Kat posts on US gamer. 1up is still online though in read only mode. It seems like they have also disabled the user accounts.
