Because WipEout Pulse sold like **** and the site was based around WipEout Pulse.

Which meant all the nay-sayer morther****ers in London ended up looking smug because the site just didn't generate the kind of traffic it should have for the budget that was spent on it. Thus, the management got cold feet when they couldn't justify the development cost on it - not that they spent a great deal in the first place.

The end result is that I leave, nobody replaces me and the site becomes kind of orphaned. I'm gutted by the way things turned out - I'd work on that site in my spare time if I was allowed, because I poured a year of my working life into it against the tide and I want it to be a success. It wouldn't take much, really - a little nurturing, someone to keep the content updated, that kind of thing.
