RIP BlogShares

Eight months ago I discovered BlogShares, a fantasy blog shares market. During these months I have spend my bored moments trying to convert my initial $500 into a fortune by trading virtual stocks. As far as I now, my account passed $90.000.000 this week, so I was really close to the 'magical' 100 million limit.

But I won't reach that limit, since BlogShares is closed. Seyed, the creator and administrator of this game cannot support it anymore; the database crashed and won't be restored anymore.

Game over.

In the mean time somebody took up the task of managing this game, so I'm back in business again!
