RIP, Perfect Imagination

[stgulik]

Got an email this morning from Perfect Imagination, the beta-testing site, reporting its own shutdown. They'd closed the site to new people looking to become accredited betas, so it's not a complete surprise, but I'm still sad. Without a site like this, it will be hard for non fanfic-writing betas like myself to prove their creds and get "work."

Dear everyone,

Unfortunately after many years of service, Perfect Imagination will be closing fully, and all content will be deleted on July 1st 2011.

Sadly, we no longer have the time, resources or inclination to maintain a site that's use is rapidly declining, nor to offer further expansion.

Thank you for your support and participation over the years, and we greatly appreciate your contributions that helped make P.I. great.

If you have any links to the domain, then we recommend removing them before the site closes to prevent confusion.

Again, many thanks for your support, and best wishes for the future.

The Perfect Imagination Team

My first thought when I got that e-mail was of you and how bad my advice had been, though I didn't know it at the time. You managed to sneak in under the wire, did you? I hope you managed to pull a couple of jobs from it.

Your advice wasn't bad, trust me! And I appreciated your taking an interest. I had gotten accredited at PI in February, so I spent a few months on the board and got enough work for experience's sake.
