I recently found the site Just For The Love Of It that does pretty much what I wanted to do with my Kula Ring project. It does not do all that I wanted to do, but since they are further along, it just does not make sense to keep Kula Ring around taking up my thoughts and limited attention, if only to worry about not doing it.
So, I am
officially shutting Kula Ring down and will keep the site around as
long as I want to pay for the domain name. The decision took me all of two days to make, and allows me to concentrate on other projects that I have been thinking about.
