Nolblog.hu is a blogging platform, primarily for readers of the leftist Hungarian newspaper Népszabadság. As of January 2016, it hosts more than 3,000 blogs.[1]
On December 31, 2015 Mworks Print Zrt. announced that nolblog.hu would be discontinued on January 31, 2016.[2]
Mediaworks did not tell the reason for the shutdown. The site has not been used by many people, has not been really updated in the last years, but there have been often harsh conflicts between the users, causing need for the administrators to intervene. Also, there are no ads on the site, so running it is probably lossy.
Users consist mainly of elderly people, forming a basically good community.
The site provides exporting. The exported blogs may be imported to other blogging platforms.
Archiving
user:bzc6p has started to archive the site.
Record
It is not the first shutdown done by Mediaworks: they discontinued the NolTV service on June 30, 2015 – it was a video hosting service, mainly used by Népszabadság Online, but they have been using YouTube for their videos lately, so they did not find it important to keep the site up.
